Art in the everyday. Culture in the open. Welcome to Randwick City’s living gallery.

Randwick City’s streets, parks and public spaces are transformed by vibrant artworks that reflect the richness, diversity and creative spirit of our community.

What is public art?

Public art is art in the public realm – created for, by, and with the community. It exists outside the gallery walls, embedded into the places we live, work and visit. It can take many forms; sculpture, murals, digital works, light installations, sound, pavement finishes, playgrounds, projections, performances – even cultural plantings and community rituals.

Why does it matter?

Public art plays a vital role in shaping Randwick City’s identity and liveability.

Through thoughtful integration into the built environment, public art enhances local infrastructure, revitalises public spaces, and contributes to the emotional and cultural value of a place. It also supports our local creative sector – engaging artists, makers, and community voices in the city’s development.

At Randwick City Council, we are committed to embedding public art into everything from urban renewal to playgrounds, transport, health and education projects. It’s not just decoration – it’s storytelling, placemaking, and connection.
