Art & Culture in Pittwater
Pittwater is an area rich in artistic talent. There is a strong community of artists and musicians living locally, many of whom produce work from their home studios.
For culture enthusiasts there are a range of ways to access exhibitions, performances and art, with galleries, venues and a local artist trail on offer. For those looking to learn, classes available in Pittwater extend from painting to knitting to language classes.
With beautiful natural assets in the form of waterways, beaches, and bush land, Pittwater often comes together for festivals and outdoor activities. Regular community events that are met with great enthusiasm include markets, PCA’s biennial Children’s ArtFest and Dog Day by the Bay.
In 2002 the Council adopted a strategy for addressing arts and cultural issues in Pittwater and from that Pittwater Community Arts Incorporated was formed. In 2004 the Community and Cultural Portfolio Committee recommended to Council that staff prepare a report regarding the development of a Cultural Plan. In March 2005 Council considered a report and resolved to develop a Cultural Plan and as part of the process establish an Advisory Group.
