Culture and creativity are part of everyone’s daily life.Blacktown Arts recognises that creativity plays an important role in developing opportunities for artists and in contributing to the wellbeing of our community.

From The Collection is a temporary public art display on the Max Webber Library windows that features 4 artworks selected from the Blacktown City Art Collection.

Blacktown City Council has been collecting artworks for over 30 years. The Blacktown City Art Collection has become an important source of civic pride and a treasured repository of local knowledge. It maps how social values, cultural perspectives and artistic concerns of the community have changed over time and is a source of inspiration for current and future generations.
