This Friday sees the opening of the City of Onkaparinga’s annual Surf Art exhibition.

The exhibition is open to all Australian artists celebrating the ocean, the coastal environment and the culture of all things related to surfing. 

It marks the beginning of summer and has become one of the pivotal features of the annual program at the Arts Centre in Port Noarlunga.

The Surf Art exhibition will run until 1 February and is open from 10am to 4pm.

Carving a place in the hearts and souls of the southern arts calendar, the exhibition celebrates not only surfing culture, but our region’s history, stunning coastal environment and lifestyle.

Painted surf boards are a staple element, accompanied by scenes of the local coastal environment, or people enjoying the sun, sand and surf of the region’s beautiful coastline.

Often, the use of unexpected mediums also captures the essence of a surfing lifestyle.
