NewQuay Art, Parks & Events

People are drawn to NewQuay for a host of exciting reasons. Whether it's celebrating  a special occasion or challenging your perspectives on art, NewQuay has something for everyone.

Like the precinct itself, NewQuay's impressive public art collection is continually evolving. Among the most prominent pieces to date is Outside Inside Out by Matthew McCarthy (in collaboration with Andrew Trevillian).

Inspired by internationally renowned Australian artist Howard Arkley, this raw and elegant play of type, words and meaning stands an imposing four storeys tall. Another is Silence by Adrian Mauriks. Set strikingly on NewQuay's bustling promenade, its organic white forms suggest a respite from the energetic pace of everyday life.

The art forms an inspiring backdrop to NewQuay's regular calendar of eyeopening events. From boat shows in summer to superb food celebrations, each is as diverse  as the community.

Thousands of visitors are welcomed each week. Leisurely winding  their way through the precinct's enviable array of food, wine and entertainment  options, it's a superb way to taste the good life. Of course, kids love NewQuay too -  from delicious gelato to the fun of feeding seagulls, they're sure to be constantly  entertained.
