Northern Beaches Council is calling on artists to help bring Avalon’s unique character to life through new public artwork for the village centre.
Expressions of interest are now open for artists of all backgrounds and experiences to create a public artwork which will be integrated into paving, seating and other landscaping works in the Avalon village.
The artwork themes of living landscape and common ground have been informed by community feedback gathered earlier this year.
Mayor Sue Heins said the project presents an exciting opportunity for artists to contribute to one of the Northern Beaches’ most loved town centres.
“Avalon has a strong sense of place, shaped by its natural beauty, creative community and vibrant village atmosphere,” Mayor Heins said.
“Avalon village is where people come together to connect and share experiences and we’re after a distinctive artwork that reflects the village identity.”
“We’re looking for an artist who can capture what makes Avalon special and create a lasting artwork that will be enjoyed by residents and visitors for many years to come,” she said.
The permanent art installation will form part of Avalon’s Streets as Shared Spaces upgrade, which aims to create a welcoming and safe place for people to shop and relax in.
The final artwork, to be funded by Council, is expected to be installed in 2027.
Expressions of interest close on Tuesday 24 November 2026.
