Located along the Warners Bay foreshore, the Creative Lake commissions were acquired through a $285,000 grant for the Art Activation Program from the 2017-2018 Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure program, a Commonwealth-funded initiative administered by the State Government to support tourism projects that drive demand and increase local tourism expenditure

C urated to develop our communities appetite for public art, and reimaging Warners Bay as a tourism destination, the eclectic range of artworks include a bronze sky pig, a young monk, a bronze hoodie figure, a bust of Charles Darwin, a granite hibiscus and funky graffiti murals. The Artists (Guan Wei, Guy Maestri, Alex Seton, Naidee Changmoh and Antone Bruinsma) were selected not only because they represent what is exceptional about the diversity within Australian contemporary art today, but also because the Artists practice in media and theme that is new to the Hunter.
