Public Art

The City of Nedlands is home to a diverse collection of public artwork, located throughout the suburbs of Nedlands, Dalkeith, Mt Claremont, Swanbourne, Shenton Park, and Floreat.  

The Collection  

The collection formally began in 2001 led by the Nedlands Cultural and Community Society with the commission of a new work, Asteroid by artist Rick Vermey.

Between 2001 and 2010, the Nedlands Cultural and Community Society commissioned ten works.  Since 2010, the collection has grown with works commissioned by the City or provided by developers. The most recent addition to the collection is Safe Guard by artists Denise Pepper and Matt McVeigh. This artwork is a tribute to health workers who supported the community through the Covid19 Pandemic.
