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.
At the beating creative heart of Artfest is an exhibition of original artworks available for purchase.
A curated selection of local wares from Blue Mountains artisans. Shop local and stock up on unique Christmas gifts.
Small group workshops for both kids and adults facilitated by talented creatives. Book early to avoid missing out.
Live music from local bands, ensembles and choirs. Plus bake sale, barista coffee and snags in bread!
