Shellharbour City Council has launched an open call for artists to create two new permanent public artworks for the Waterfront Shell Cove art trail. The commission seeks large-scale, site-specific installations that reflect the local coastal environment and community identity, specifically targeting the areas near the marina and the foreshore.
This initiative represents a significant investment in regional public art infrastructure, aiming to enhance the cultural appeal of the Illawarra coastline. By expanding the existing art trail, the council is fostering local tourism and providing high-visibility opportunities for contemporary artists to integrate their work into the permanent urban fabric of the growing Shell Cove precinct.
