CITY OF TOWNSVILLE ART IN PUBLIC SPACES COLLECTION

Townsville City Council recognises that the incorporation of public art contributes to an attractive and stimulating built environment, and to the community’s appreciation and knowledge of the visual arts. Public artworks are also important as they have the ability to improve the quality of life and the environment, reinforce the unique identity of Townsville, and acknowledge the cultural diversity of contemporary Townsville, and the Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage of the city. The City of Townsville Art In Public Spaces Collection is made up of over 200 works, with trails to follow in locations such as Riverway, The Strand, the CBD, and Jezzine Barracks.
