Visual Arts | Manual Arts - Openings and Exhibitions

The Arts have played a significant role in the shaping of modern Castlemaine. The late 1960's and early 70's saw an influx of artists and craftsmen. Low priced land plus the abundance of low cost building materials was very important along with the towns train service and its close proximity to the city. The Castlemaine State Festival began in 1976. It has grown to become Australia's flagship regional arts festival.

Prose | Poetry | Writing Festivals | Book Launches | Events - Book launches, clubs, writing workshops.

Writing, like the visual and manul arts is a significant element in our region's cultural activities. Writers, like other artists, found our region ideal for practising their craft. More recently, Castlemaine and surrounding villages have become home to publishers both active and retired. Fiction and reference book from local authors appear regularly.
