Twilight Spaces

Twilight Spaces invited our local community and beyond to explore, engage and experience the magic of Katoomba with street art tours, performing arts, live music, creative workshops and pop-up kitchens. This free Sunday afternoon event brought the town centre to life with colour, performance and sound throughout our laneways and showcased our vibrant and artistic community with a varied line-up of local talent. Twilight Spaces featured interactive installations, roving illuminations, live performances by local musicians, and workshops exploring natural and high-tech materials including lantern making, shadow puppets, nature scavenger hunt, 3D printing and stop motion animation stations. The live musical performances took place in the Katoomba town centre arcade, on the street in the ‘Gallery Precinct’, and Ha’Penny Lane hummed with a solar-powered sound system. There was also a pop-up dining alley in the arcade’s upper-level food kitchens and various local businesses will extend trading hours. A new printed brochure was available to guide art-lovers around the new urban art trail to see the many artworks now found around the town centre. This includes the Street Art Walk, the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre and the new Living Lanes artworks – a recent project that saw the installation of five groundbreaking artworks. Twilight Spaces is presented by Blue Mountains City Council and Fusion Boutique, with funding from the NSW Government’s the Festival of Place and the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund through the joint Commonwealth/State Disaster Recovery Arrangements. Fusion Boutique owner Charity Mirow, curated the activities and program, executed the event and promoted the program.
