According to Ms Schneider, the exhibition will be her first and she is excited to have it hosted in one of her favourite places in Lithgow.
"I think it [Gang Gang] is a fantastic gallery, it's gorgeous," Ms Schneider said.
"I've met some of the amazing artists there as well."
Ms Schneider is also set to perform at the Workies on August 4, playing her hits and songs from her new album.
According to Ms Schneider, it is going to be a very honest and intimate show.
"I'll take the audience through a whole lot of different songs. From my biggest golden guitar award winning hits to some songs from my favorite singer songwriters," Ms Schneider said.
"I'll be singing some songs from my album, 'Great woman of country' that I did with Becky Cole, a few years ago."
Ms Schneider said the show will also feature the music of the late Doris Day and stories that have inspired her.
"I used to do a big show about a theater show about Doris Day and her life," Ms Schneider said.
"It'll be quite a versatile show with lots of different music in it. And lots of stories, some sad stories about my songs and how I've written them."
" I'll take them [the audience] on a bit of a journey of the emotions on the night."
Ms Schneider said she loves visiting to the Lithgow area and is looking forward to returning for an exciting weekend.
"It's a beautiful community, I think the people were pretty special," Ms Schneider said.
"I'm hoping this time, I'll be able to see a little bit more of the town and spend more time there."
