Mural Artist Database
Mural Artist Database
Shellharbour is home to an ever-expanding array of murals by local and internationally-recognised artists in a variety of locations such as laneways, town centres and sporting facilities.
We are seeking artists who would like their work considered for mural projects in the future. These opportunities may be facilitated by Council, or in partnership with local businesses and developers.
Council’s mural program has expanded rapidly over the past few years, and we have exciting plans for many more vibrant artworks around our city.
