40 YEARS OF ARTFEST

CREATIVITY & COMMUNITY

One of the region’s longest-running arts events, Blue Mountains Artfest is an annual fundraiser for Wentworth Falls Public School.

Showcasing local artists and makers, the weekend event is a not for profit initiative of the school’s P&C Association. All proceeds directly support students through the acquisition of educational resources and improvements to their learning environment.

Established in 1983 as the Wentworth Falls Public School Queen’s Birthday Weekend Art Exhibition, the event was the brainchild of visionary art teachers. 

It has maintained a focus on local artists and cultivating creative paths for generations of Wentworth Falls primary students.
