| Category | Description |
| Artist in studio | You are a working artist with a studio in the Kāpiti Coast district where you create most of your artwork, and where visitors can see you creating your work. Creating art is a significant part of your work life and a source of your income. You will be in attendance at your studio for the duration of the opening hours of both weekends of the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail. |
| Artists in shared spaces (formerly Hubs) | Two to five Kāpiti Coast artists sharing one site specifically for the entire duration of the Art Trail. Shared spaces require a nominated "shared space coordinator", who will be responsible for liaison and communication with the Council for the event. All artists in shared spaces will be in attendance at your site for the duration of the opening hours of both weekends of the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail. |
| Exhibition space (formerly art society/club or guild) |
Established gallery: you must be a gallery whose main business is art and must be open to the public at regular times during the year. During the Art Trail most of the artwork in your gallery will be by Kāpiti Coast artists. Art society/club or guild: you are an incorporated society that supports a range of member artists who live in the Kāpiti Coast. Some or most of your members will be emerging artists or hobby artists. |
