Art projects on the GreenWay
The GreenWay is an inspirational place for arts projects and community involvement.
Public Art on the GreenWay
The GreenWay Public Art program has curated eight new public artworks which transform this urban green corridor into a place that inspires visitors and residents to encounter cultural heritage and contemporary life, express deeper connection to place, engage with local stories, diverse communities, and natural ecosystems. The artworks explore themes of, and collaborate with, the natural environment, local rail history and native flora and fauna.

GreenWay Art Prize
The Art Prize was established in 2010 to capture the essence of the Greenway through visual art and to celebrate the vibrancy, creativity and community spirit of the Inner West.
This is a national prize, open to all artists submitting work within the terms of the prize.
The prize is judged and exhibited at Art Est. School and Gallery in Leichhardt.

Artcycle
Artcycle is a not for profit volunteer run organisation that promotes arts and cycling in the the GreenWay catchment and greater region. It holds regular free cycling tours of local galleries and art installations. The guides for these tours are usually artists themselves. The Artcycle website is regularly updated with a host of fun events.
Hawthorne Canal Community Mosaic
This spectacular mosaic at Lords Road - Hawthorne Canal tunnel has been created with many thousands of volunteer hours and a phenomenal number of small pieces. The story of the project is told in a short video by Katherine Buskariol. Officially opened in August 2011, the work was coordinated by Nola Diamantopoulos of the Studio of Spontaneous Creativity. The Lords Road Mural project was a joint initiative between Leichhardt Council, Rail Corps and Kegworth Public School.
Lords Road Mural
During 2006-2007 children from Kegworth Public School and volunteers from the Inner West Environment Group (IWEG) painted murals on the facades of the Lords Road tunnel under the rail corridor. These murals are free for everyone to see at any time of the day.
