Join in by submitting your Open Studio, Event, Exhibition or Performance now and help make this the biggest festival yet!
We have kept submission fees the same since 2015, in order to facilitate as many people as possible to be part of the festival. It is an open submission process so we welcome applications from any discipline.
The dates of the 2025 Festival are:
30 August to 30 September
Open Studios: 30/31 August & 6/7 September
You can choose a single listing, half page or full page in the Open Studios or Events section of the brochure. This will appear in the festival brochure which is distributed across the area throughout July, August and September.
If you would prefer to design your own artwork and purchase advertising space in the brochure – instead of our standard listing format, please see the media pack here:
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS – 1 MAY
Thanks in advance to everyone who makes it possible to keep this independent community festival alive. Coastal Currents started in 1999 and has reinvented itself every year since to reflect the amazing creative community on this coastline, thanks to all your participation, attendance and contributions.
