Plan your trail

Curating your own trail of discovery as part of the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail is delightfully easy. This allows you to travel the trail using your smartphone as your guide.

You can build your own unique Art Trail by adding artists who pique your interest to the 'My Favourites' list by clicking the bookmark in the top right-hand corner of their image. Create a customised trail by clicking on the artists in the order you want to visit them on the map and open the route in Google Maps. You can also email yourself 'your favourites' list with links to the artists’ profiles and your customised Google Map.

 

Here's how to plan your trail step-by-step:

• Click Log in at top of page and create an account or log in.
• Click Go to participating artists.
• Browse and select your favourites by clicking the bookmark symbol at the top right of the image of the artists you want to see.
