The Arts

Murwillumbah is the creative heart of the Tweed, home to a thriving arts precinct and a vibrant cultural scene. At its centre is the award-winning Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre, which attracts visitors from across Australia with its world-class exhibitions and homage to one of the country’s most beloved painters. The town itself is dotted with artist studios, galleries, and creative collectives, while the M Arts Precinct transforms a former industrial space into a lively hub of makers, studios, cinema, and boutique retail. Beyond Murwillumbah, nearby villages like Uki, Tyalgum, and Brunswick Heads add their own creative flair with markets, live music, and festivals that celebrate the region’s rich cultural spirit. Whether you’re browsing contemporary art, catching live performances, or joining a community event, the Tweed Valley offers culture as colourful as its landscape.
