Neighbourhood Palette celebrates the colors, stories, and spirit of our community. We’re inviting local artists to capture the beauty of everyday life — from familiar streets and ocean views to the small details that make Manly feel like home. Whether through painting, photography, collage, or mixed media, this exhibition is about seeing our surroundings through creative eyes and showcasing the many voices that make our neighbourhood unique.

We’re kicking off the new year with Fresh Beginnings, an exhibition celebrating renewal, transformation, and creative possibility — and we’re looking for artists to join! Whether you work in paint, collage, photography, or mixed media, we invite you to share your interpretation of what it means to start anew. The show will feature UK collage artist Kate Rowe alongside a selection of local creatives, all exploring the energy and optimism that come with a fresh start.

That fleeting moment when the light turns everything gold — Golden Hour invites artists to explore warmth, glow, and the delicate transition between day and night. We’re seeking works that capture radiance in all its forms — literal or emotional — from sunsets and reflections to moments of connection that feel bright and brief. Let your work shimmer with light, color, and the beauty of the in-between.

After the Rain is an exhibition about renewal, calm, and clarity — those moments when everything feels washed clean. We’re calling for artists whose work reflects healing, growth, and quiet transformation. Through soft tones, reflective themes, or new beginnings, this show invites art that feels like a deep breath — serene, hopeful, and open to what comes next.
