Art Walk

The PromenART Sculpture walk was first launched in 2023 to celebrate creativity, culture and the broader Shell Cove community.

This multi-year initiative has been made possible by Shellharbour City Council and Frasers Property Australia and will feature various activities and activations, with the more permanent installation being a Mural Walk which has been created on the Eastern Edge of the marina.

The works are a collection of community collaborations and local artists, including:

Kids First Australia: I see a mentor in You. This collaboration celebrates empowerment, unity, and creativity, forming part of the PromenART Walk, which currently features nine murals along the waterfront. This initiative is being delivered in partnership with Kids First Australia, a national organization that supports children and families through education, early intervention, and community engagement programs. This project is a visual addition to Shell Cove and a meaningful reflection of inclusivity and support for future generations.
Stephanie Quirk + Nu Earth: Grandmother Gum. Grandmother Gum is part of a forest so ancient that it is now the last significant remnant of our coastal plain forest in the Illawarra.
Is It Me You See: The Marker - With a background in Visual Arts and Interior Design, local talent, Gillian Dinh, combines her love for both creative industries by utilising her hand-lettering skills to enhance spaces through signage and wall mural creations. The Marker’s portfolio includes a variety of works from stationery design, logos and business branding to wall murals, sign-writing and creative workshops.
Having a Whale of a Time: The customers of ARUMA, a local service which supports over 5000 people with a disability throughout the east coast of Australia, worked alongside Kao Kreative to deliver a marine inspired work that is bold, bright and captures the beauty of where we live and it's location along the Humpback Highway.
Human: Tegan Georgette: Her works explore themes of vulnerability, power and gender roles. Tegan paints powerful portraits in bright rainbow colours of confident figures of no specific gender. The works bring colour, joy and a beautiful message of inclusivity wherever they are painted.
This is Shell Cove: A community activated piece that welcomed residents and passerby's to 'capture' their favourite parts of where they live to be exhibited for years to come.

Make Your Mark: This mural was designed during a community workshop series facilitated by Artist Tegan Georgette. During this workshop, the young people of Shell Cove and surrounding suburbs had the opportunity to share their unique perspective on the area. Tegan facilitated a creative conversation giving participants the opportunity to share their real and imagined perspectives. This conversation became the inspiration for this exciting mural project. The mural is playful and expressive showcasing Shellharbour Marina through the imagination of our local youth.
The Sea-galls: Summer lovin'! These girls are ready to embrace the best of the coast this summer! A creative collaboration by Kao Kreative, this mural brings a little colour and flair to the east coast and celebrates what we love most about it...even the pesky gull!

The next round of murals are due to be completed in October 2025 - more information to come.
