Picturing the Great Divide: Visions from Australia’s Blue Mountains
November 4 2012 – February 3 2013

The inaugural exhibition at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre will demonstrate the powerful impact the Blue Mountains region has had on the cultural life of the nation. The diverse works on display will identify and celebrate the extraordinary nature of this world heritage landscape. Further to this, the exhibition will trace the constant hold the Blue Mountains catchment has had on the imagination of visual artists since the early days of European settlement.
