This year we are celebrating the Year of Astronomy – and will be utilising this theme through our entertainmentprogram and school art program.

Rich in history, the Darlington Arts Festival, began with humble beginnings back in 1968. Starting as an art exhibition in the local hall by renowned Hills artists Robert Juniper, Hal Missingham, David Gregson and Guy Grey-Smith the festival began as a fundraising venture for the local volunteer bush fire brigade. Still with close links to its long history, the Darlington Arts Festival has grown over the years to be a fantastic free event for all ages.

We hope you will join us on the 7th and 8th November 2009 to celebrate this wonderful community event.
