Alice Springs Art & CultureAlice Springs Public Art

Alice Springs have many interesting public artworks, some of which we present here in our Alice Springs Public Art Index. Public art, by its very nature refers to artwork that is not necessarily confined within a building, but viewable out in the public, on the street, in parks and gardens, plazas and malls, and other places that are freely accessible by the general public.

Following thumbnails are of some of the street art to be seen in Alice Springs.
