bentART holds an annual exhibition in the Blue Mountains NSW celebrating works in the visual arts of Australian LGBTIQ artists.
Each year over the June long weekend, the annual 4-day bentART exhibition is held in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
The inspiration of three Blue Mountains women, bentART has evolved into the largest LGBTI art event in Australia. Initially, for LGBTI artists living in (or with a strong association with) the Blue Mountains, bentART is now open to LGBTI artists resident in Australia.
In 2015 a new category of SmartPhoneography was added allowing artists to enter works created using only their mobile phone.
bentART has become a highlight of the Queens Birthday weekend of activities in the Blue Mountains for the lesbian and gay community in New South Wales and beyond.
