The Greater Blue Mountains Creative Arts Network will be winding up its Blue Mountains Artists Company by December 2024, due to loss of financial viability through 2024-2025 to meet all our fixed costs. To celebrate our more than 20 years of effort in supporting the Blue Mountains arts community, we invite you all to join us for our Grand Finale Event at The Edge Cinema in Katoomba, on Saturday 19 October 2024 from 3pm.
At the event, we will also be announcing various new initiatives being undertaken to continue our collective engagement with the world of the creative arts.
