Public Art

Cities, towns, and villages around the world adorn their public spaces and buildings with art to commemorate significant events, reflect an aspect of their culture, tell stories or just for the sheer enjoyment of great art.

Mandurah’s public realm, with its strong links to the estuary and ocean, provides visually rich and diverse spaces for an open air gallery of artworks. Within this collection are works that might frame a view, link us to our heritage or encourage touch. Some can prompt sad memories while others trigger joyful play.

Mandurah's heritage sites are marked by tall, elegant poles designed by Steve Tepper drawing attention to publc art commissions that capture aspects of our history.

Many works are discreet and await discovery by a sharp set of eyes that can distinguish them in the streetscape - whilst those of a larger scale can activate a view.

All are there for our enjoyment and contemplation.
