To really lift the curtain on the city of Bunbury you must discover the community’s passion for arts and culture.
Centre stage is a modern entertainment centre with an iconic design that overlooks Leschenault Inlet.
It’s among the first local landmarks to welcome new visitors as they arrive in the central business district.
Headline acts from around Australia and overseas dazzle audiences with their live performances throughout the year alongside locally produced performances showcasing the South West region’s own talent.
You will find it hard to miss another of Bunbury’s cultural icons - the pink Bunbury Regional Art Galleries building was built in 1897 as a convent but was converted to a gallery in 1987.
An annual exhibition calendar offers regular displays with eclectic variety from the contemporary to the classic.
And for another hit of culture simply hit the streets of Bunbury.
The city’s collection of public art is diverse and vibrant, providing great insight into Bunbury’s cultural identity and sense of place.
The city’s cultural identity and sense of place resonate from deep within these remarkable artistic creations; engaging local and travelling audiences, and providing extreme iconic value.
