Welcome to the website for Katoomba Fine Art and the Lost Bear Gallery
The Blue Mountains has long been an artistic and bohemian centre. The region is home to some of Australia's finest landscape painters, sculptors, glassmakers, craftspeople and contemporary artists - many of whom are represented here at Katoomba Fine Art and the Lost Bear Gallery.
The business comprises of two galleries. The main gallery, Katoomba Fine Art, was established in 2001. Featuring 12 separate exhibiting spaces, the gallery is host to a superb collection of paintings, sculpture, ceramics and hand blown glass from a diverse mix of artists, all established, but at different stages of their respective careers. Feature exhibitions are held at Lost Bear Gallery in Leura.
Both galleries are open daily from 10 am. For further information about the galleries, click here.

Katoomba Fine Art has had some beguiling and eccentric offerings from 'stable' artist Ian Swift, yet his most recent work, a life-size, rainbow-coloured rhinoceros, is truly engaging. Swift states that the work is titled 'The Sixties Remembered' because "there was a lot of horny activity, short sighted and belligerent politics and rampaging hallucinogens - though I really can't remember."
