During the Olympic Games, St. Hilda's in Katoomba staged a special art exhibition within the church, to celebrate the Millennium.

It was a unique range of paintings, drawings, wood-cuts, sculpture and banners expressing the Christian faith, featuring artists of international stature like John Coburn, designer of the famous Opera House curtains and the late Reinis Zusters, winner of the bronze prize in Osaka, Japan. Special guests will feature Lesya Bablyak, icon painter from the Ukraine and Marianne Gill-Harper from Tasmania.

All together some fourteen artists were represented, mostly from Sydney and the Blue Mountains. Beautiful banners by Nita Brown and a major work by Tom Spence, winner of the prestigious Blake Prize for religious art, were highlights in the show.

Well-known Sydney identities, Ursula Laverty, Eva Kubbos and Yve Close and locals David White, Tiiu Reissar, Conrad Clark, Heather Bloor and Jo Houston were also shown.

Also on show was ‘The Bible in Pictures’ series by Heather Bloor, Anne Hardy, Venita Salnajs & Wendy Tai.
