Locations

3D Mural - Belmont

Located in a prominent spot on Belmont Foreshore, this 3D mural painted by Scott Jansen and a team of artists brings alive a large open-cut mine as a fun take on Lake Macquarie’s mining heritage.

Norfolk - Caves Beach

Kelly-Ann Lees 'Norfolk' references the stands of Norfolk Island Pines growing in the Caves Beach area. The ground is littered with the pieces of the cones that break apart and fall to the ground releasing the seeds as the cones mature.

Little Big Things - Glendale

Elliott Routledge's Little Big Things boldly celebrates the proud hudden identities of Glendale and Cardiff through the use of revealing abstract imagery.

The Hub - Glendale

Designed by Barney Collins & Brendon Farrar (EJE Architecture) The Hub represents the connectivity between Glendale and Cardiff.

3D Mural - Toronto

Created by Scott Jansen and a team of artists, this fun floor mural is painted to bring alive its image into an immersive 3D experience. A great photo opportunity right on the Lake.

Facsimilies Darwin - Warners Bay

Guy Maestri’s Darwin offers us an unchanging truth. Using bronze as a metaphor for how contemporary society honours history with everlasting effigies, Maestri asks if it is still tolerable to revere these frozen monuments to archaic values, as seen with the controversy surrounding the confederate sculptures across the US.

Beach Blossom - Warners Bay

Antone Bruinsma’s Beach Blossom was inspired by the native hibiscus flower and symbolises the human spirit rising with the energies of the sun (rise).

No.1 Sky Pig - Warners Bay

Guan Wei’s extraordinary career is global and he is renowned for large installations and painting triptych that combine imagery from mythology, fantasy, history and the present day.
