Looking for a fun, free activity this summer for the family?

Check out The Art of Observation at the Civic Precinct and Community Hub for an exhibition that celebrates Council's photography collection and brings together generations of photographers who invite you to look closer, think differently, and rediscover the familiar.

Start the new year with arts and culture. If you’re craving something thoughtful, grounding and quietly inspiring, The Art of Observation is a beautiful place to begin. This exhibition celebrates Council's photography collection, bringing together generations of photographers who invite you to look closer, think differently, and rediscover the familiar.

Works by Suzie Blake, Wilfred Disney Chapman, Jody Haines, Grant Hobson, Karenne Ann, Anna Kiparis, Viv Méhes, Kip Scott, Gayle Slater, Simon Terrill, Pierre Vairo, James Voller, Sarah Watt and Ammar Yonis are exhibited along with documentary images by unidentified early twentieth century photographers.

While some photographers use the camera to record their environments, others adopt it as a tool for creation. Examining the parallels, differences and connections between constructed and documentary photography and exploring artists’ intentions and processes, The Art of Observation considers not just what we see but how we see.

15 December 2025 – 8 May 2026
Weekdays, 8.30am–5pm
Civic Precinct and Community Hub
