Stretching below the escarpment west of Blackheath, Megalong Valley feels a world away — a wide green basin of farmland, bush and sky. It’s also home to a unique group of MTNS MADE creatives whose work is shaped by isolation, self-reliance and a deep relationship with the landscape.
You’ll find sculptors, land artists, textile artists, sound artists, and experimental filmmakers living and working in Megalong — often off-grid, always attuned to environment and place.
Many creatives here are process-driven and interdisciplinary. Practices range from performance and printmaking to regenerative agriculture, sculpture, and sensory installation. Work is often site-responsive, layered, and informed by lived experience of country.
Though remote, the community is far from disconnected. Many Megalong-based artists are nationally recognised and contribute to festivals, exhibitions and publications. There’s also a strong ethos of sharing and collaboration — whether through residencies, mentorships or collective projects across the region.
For collaborators and curators looking for work that’s raw, rigorous and rooted in place, Megalong Valley offers extraordinary depth.
