ART & CULTURE 

Art is an important part of Carnarvon's DNA - there are talented artists and creators working in and around the town, with exhibitions occurring throughout the year. Street art and vivid murals gives the town a strong identity. The Carnarvon Library and Art Gallery is a good starting point – it plans to host a series of exhibitions throughout the year. Displaying the work of local and visiting artists, it;s a great spot to learn a little more about the kind of art that's being created in the region these days. 

Art makes a statement from the moment you arrive in Carnarvon. Reflecting the importance of Carnarvon's Aboriginal heritage – and also acting as a visual interpretation of ensuring visitors feel right at home – a campfire artwork welcomes all to Carnarvon. Called Garla, it's constructed with five fire sticks, and recognises the four neighbouring Countries in addition to the Yinngarrda Country of Carnarvon: Malgana, Payungu, Thalanji, Thudgarri

You'll be sure to see Carnarvon's murals around town too; the 26m mural along Robinson Street in the town centre tells the towns history in a vivid way. 

There are several striking historical buildings in Carnarvon. The original Jubilee Hall is a reminder of yesteryear. Originally housing the library before it moved to its new venue, the hall was dedicated as a memorial to Queen Victoria's Jubilee celebrations in 1887. Still going strong, you'll find a range of classes and workshops available, such as Pottery, Cross Stitching and Patchwork, depending on the time of the year.
