“Embarking on the Lithgow Arts Trail is an exploration of beauty in its myriad forms and diverse locales. Whether you begin your journey at the eastern point, nestled in Little Hartley area, or opt for the western commencement from Capertee Valley, you are in for a breathtaking artistic adventure. This immersive experience takes you through the historic city of Lithgow, where you’ll encounter the enchanting hills and valleys, expansive farmlands, awe-inspiring escarpments, pristine bushlands, and sites steeped in both indigenous and European history, all within this ancient valley.”
“The 2025 Lithgow Arts Trail presents a tapestry of artistic expression, mirroring the enchanting landscape that surrounds it. Our participating Trail Artists open the doors to their diverse and captivating studios, inviting you into a world where creativity knows no bounds. These artistic sanctuaries range from quaint backyard sheds and intimate workshops to studios perched atop picturesque hilltops and ensconced within breathtaking gardens. As you traverse the trail, you’ll also discover fabulous art galleries that serve as vibrant hubs of artistic innovation.”
