A perfect day out

High on a cliff overlooking spectacular coastline below the Royal National Park, the Scarborough Art Show has become a cultural beacon of the Illawarra, attracting artists and visitors from the local area and beyond.

Now in its 27th year, our annual show has developed a reputation for its high quality, breadth, local atmosphere and affordability. Renowned painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors join with jewellers, ceramicists and craftspeople, drawn from Sydney, the South Coast and the Southern Highlands to create a vibrant and varied exhibition. Come together to enjoy a meeting of art, nature and our local community and help Scarborough Public School raise funds to support their much admired art literacy and learning programmes . 

An hour’s drive south of Sydney across the scenic Seacliff Bridge, visitors can enjoy coffee, food, live music and kids' entertainment while browsing a wide range of artworks at their leisure. Come away excited with an affordable piece of art and gifts for friends and family after enjoying the relaxed, beautiful atmosphere of this scenic corner of the Illawarra.
