Hazelhurst Arts Centre

Bequeathed to the Sutherland Shire community by Ben and Hazel Broadhurst, this regional arts centre carries the weight of that gift lightly — a permanent collection, regular exhibitions, and a kitchen and bar occupying what feels like genuinely public space. The gallery shop runs to ceramics, jewellery, and glassware. The gardens are available for hire. It earns its place on the southern edge of Sydney.
