Blacktown Arts: Artist Opportunities and Digital Insights

As Blacktown Arts enters a new chapter following the closure of The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre, our commitment to creativity, connection and opportunity across western Sydney remains!

Our 2026 program has a strong focus on artist and community opportunities, including Magnify: Live Arts, Blacktown City Creative Arts Fund and the Blacktown Shorts Film Festival. We’re also expanding engagement in the digital space through programs such as Digital Stories and the Blacktown Arts Digital Artist in Residence program, creating new ways for artists and audiences to engage and connect.

As the year unfolds, we look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces as we continue to shape this next chapter together.
