Celebrating the diversity of contemporary arts and artists living and working in Lithgow LGA.
Exhibition Dates: May 21 – June 28 at the Union Theatre Gallery, 65 Bridge Street, Lithgow.
Artists: Jane Canfield, Lise Edwards, Harrie Fasher, Anne Graham, Caitlin Graham, Brett Groves, Wendy Hawkes, Gabriella Hegyes, Tim Johnman, Jess Leffley, Sarah O’Sullivan, Gary Pettitt, Jenny Pienaar, Julie Visible, Leanne Wicks.
Shaped by the region’s dramatic landscape, industrial history, and strong sense of community, the exhibition brings together artists exploring a range of styles and mediums. While each artist offers a unique perspective, their works are connected through a shared experience of place and belonging. The exhibition reflects just some of the stories, relationships and environments that influence creative life in the Lithgow area today.
Together, these artists reveal the richness of local artistic practice and the powerful connections that emerge through living, creating, and exhibiting within the same community.
