A Place for Artists and Art Lovers

Acquisition News

In 2023 the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre Fine Art Collection grew significantly with the addition of 29 works from seven local artists. These works have been acquired via purchase, donation, and the Cultural Gift Program.

We received a donation of four works by local photographer Bette Mifsud, as well as a significant donation of twenty coloured etchings by Anne Smith. Peachey & Mosig also donated a large photograph as a parting gift before moving away from the Blue Mountains.

The purchase of three First Nations video works by Aunty Sharyn Halls (with Craig Bender and Vera Hong), Jo Clancy and Leanne Tobin were a timely acquisition and will be on exhibition until December 2025 in Ngurra Bayala (Country speaks). And finally, the much-loved glass bubbles installation, Illusion 2017, by Kayo Yokoyama, that has become a permanent fixture in the cafe, has also been purchased.
