Arts and Culture
THE Scenic Rim has a long and rich history in arts and culture, dating back to its pioneers.
Filmmaker Charles Chauvel and poet Judith Wright are products of the Scenic Rim, both were inspired and encouraged by the region’s towns, people and natural beauty.
They laid the foundations for a thriving arts and cultural movement which stretches from one end of the Scenic Rim to the other.
Painters, sculptors, mask makers, photographers, singers, musicians, thespians, they have all chosen to live in this scenic spot.
Their presence adds another layer of diversity to an intriguing region.
The work of local artists is displayed at many of the region’s galleries, art cafes and restaurants. The Studios of the Scenic Rim initiative allows visitors to meet local artists in their studios.
The area’s two major Cultural Centres regularly host local, national and international performances. Our communities host a fabulous array of colourful events year-round.
