Defined by its historic rail yards and bushland backdrop, Valley Heights combines industrial character with creative adaptability. It's a place where past and present meet — and where a growing community of MTNS MADE creatives are producing bold, grounded work.
The area is home to painters, ceramicists, teachers, illustrators, musicians, and craft practitioners. Some work from home studios or converted garages; others collaborate from local creative spaces or deliver programs in schools and community venues.
Valley Heights offers a practical and down-to-earth energy. Its accessibility — just off the highway and rail line — makes it ideal for creatives working in both regional and urban contexts. The area’s heritage infrastructure has also inspired a number of visual responses in painting, photography, and sculpture.
With easy connections to Springwood and beyond, Valley Heights is a vital link in the lower mountains creative network.
