Get ready to party with Blacktown Arts this Summer 2025/26!

We’re kicking off the year with Sydney Festival: Blacktown Garage Party, a free family-friendly celebration, bustling with music, artmaking and performance, right in our backyard! To get the party started early, join the Kahoa and Adornments with Sione Monu and Salote Tawale, these are 2 workshops where you can make your own artwork to take home or contribute to the Blacktown Garage Party installation.

Our 4th edition of the Digital stories series is now live! It follows Si Yi Shen as she archives one of her parents’ final prints at K-2 Printing in Seven Hills. Watch all 4 current stories at anytime and from anywhere online.

Sit down and relax with Summer Music at Elara Food Market in February, enjoying delicious food and talented local music acts.

Check out Tastes like Trauma’ with Starphire Jacobs displaying on the Max Webber Library windows, exploring themes of food, culture, and First Nations connections.

Stay cool and join the fun with Blacktown Arts this Summer!
