The Scarborough Art Show is an inspiring and joyful community event at our scenic little school overlooking the sea. Back on October 10-12, the annual showcase of art, craft and local talent is known for its quality, affordability and great atmosphere.

It’s one of the biggest art events in the Illawarra, says event coordinator Andrew Rich.

“Having the engagement of a new principal this year who is really keen to continue this long running community event has helped to again find the support it’s needed,” Andrew said. 

Now in its 27th year, the show raises funds to enrich resources and programs for the kids.

Principal Emma Hutchinson said: “I’m especially excited for the ArtSpark exhibition for primary aged students, and the amazing entries we receive from children across the Northern Illawarra. There’s something magical about a child seeing their own artwork displayed in a gallery.”

To get in early, buy artwork and meet the artists, book tickets via our website to opening night. For ages 18+, it’s on Friday, October 10, with music, canapés and a pop-up bar.

The weekend will be perfect for kids, with a casual friendly atmosphere, art and craft, music, food, coffee, cakes and activities.

Head to Scarborough Public School on Saturday, Oct 11, 10am-5pm; and Sunday 12th, 10am-3pm. $5 adults/$3 concession/under-13s free, www.scarboroughartshow.com
