Over 35 artists will exhibit inside our home and throughout the gardens, each bringing their own perspective, medium, and story.
Sculpture, painting, ceramics and more are woven throughout, inviting you to slow down, wander, and discover something that speaks to you.
Our 2025 event had such a positive impact on our community.
Over 1,200 people came together to wander the gardens, experience incredible art, and enjoy live music. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we also raised vital funds for The Salvation Army Hibiscus Coast making the event not just beautiful, but impactful.
The ripple effect was felt right across Coatesville. Local cafés saw packed-out carparks and local businesses enjoyed overflow bookings. Our success was shared by the whole community.

Our Story
Coatesville Art In the Garden combines the beauty of artistic expression with the power of community generosity.
Blending Art and Charity This event series first began over 16 years ago. After a long pause, it was brought back to life in 2025 in response to the growing need to support those who rely on our chosen charity, The Salvation Army Hibiscus Coast.
Blending a passion for art and events in a way that could directly benefit the community was a natural decision. At the helm is Susan Herbert, a lifelong artist with a gift not only for creating, but also for curating exceptionally talented artists.
The 2025 revival was a resounding success, drawing hundreds of visitors and raising much-needed funds. With 2026 on the horizon, planning is already underway to refine the experience and raise even more for this cause so close to Susan’s heart.
