Dardanup Art Spectacular

Saturday 2nd May - Sunday 3rd May 2026

The Dardanup Art Spectacular (DAS) brings together existing and emerging artistic talent over one exciting weekend in the beautiful surrounds of the Ferguson Valley WA. It all begins with a major exhibition in the Dardanup Hall that showcases breathtaking and innovative art across painting, sculpture and photography.

The weekend also offers a FREE local Art Trail where you can wander the back roads of the Ferguson Valley meeting local artists in their own studios and in venues in the township of Dardanup. A number of wineries and breweries are also exhibiting artists work and what better way to contemplate your next piece of art than surrounded by the fine food and wines of the Ferguson Valley.

The Dardanup Art Spectacular is a weekend not to be missed, and this year we are hosting Sharon from Arli Design!

Sharon Hinchliffe “Arli Design”
Sharon’s works are often the trigger for stories to develop and flourish. Beginning with fluid painted strokes or simple lines, she builds up forms through intricate line work and detailing, creating imaginary landscapes and populated with strangely familiar creatures. The sea has always had a strong influence on Sharon, and this affinity is expressed in her work through the recurrence of waves, boats and aquatic birds as subject matter. In most of her work, she reprises these themes, though with a looseness in style that allows space for randomness and unexpected figures to emerge from her initial application of paint. The works encourage the viewer to explore their own relationships – with each other, themselves and the world around us.
