Art museum

Great museum, well set up taking you through the history of surfing. Wayne and Carrol were lovely, interactive with visitors as they arrived. Great coffee and cake. If in the area certainly worth visiting.

Beautiful setting and some great art to see and buy. Worth visiting regularly

Always an interesting and varied range of exhibitions and installations in this art gallery. Their current exhibition from the Berndt Museum is excellent.

Lots of local history and memorabilia. Very passionate staff and interesting videos and photos on display. Voluntary $2 donation on entry. Well worth a visit if you are interested in the area's history.

(This review is directed mainly to the exhibition of Yoshitomo Nara.)I loved Yoshitomo Nara's exhibition within the ACWA. One thing that I believe is that with art, you don't have to make it complex, with theories there, theories that, yada yada. Yoshitomo didn't have to follow the complexity of Art Theory and maintained some emotion with it, and also, it looked really nice.I noticed that a lot of his artwork is directed towards the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. His artwork is like visual protests towards having peace to the world; hoping that future generations don't create war (like his artwork Love or Nuclear made in 2013.) It gives me hope for the future world, for peace and tranquillity, and less atomic violence.I gotta say, the way his exhibition room is set up looks really nice and neatly done. I also love you can see the early untitled concepts of his sculptures, to see how much prototypes have changed over time, or if he just kept the design. Speaking of, his sculptures looked really beautiful and unique. The sculpture that was my personal favourite was Miss Forest (i assume that's what the tree lady is called), she looked really pretty. I also love some of the pottery and vases that he made (my favourite being 'reach out to the moon, even if we can't'. really love the name of that one).Overall, the Yoshitomo exhibition at ACWA was really nice. I recommend it.

If you love surfing and skateboarding, this place is a must do. The boards are displayed beautifully and you can watch a surf board being made too. Not to mention, the coffee is superb!

Very interesting place to while away an hour or so. It is run by volunteers, and contains an interesting collection of local history stories images, and some artifacts. I recall it was free, but they requested a gold coin donation.

A nice hidden gem in mountains, has steel sculpture and paintings.

Really engaging and beautiful exhibit/ gallery showcasing the evolution of surfboard design and surf culture over the years. As well as the many gorgeous boards, there were also some wicked photos of breaks in the area, a window into Wayne's workshop and a very entertaining surf film playing in one area of the gallery. Wayne & Carol were very welcoming and their passion is evident in the gallery's superb execution. At $10 it's great value too. Left eager as for a wave. Thanks guys!!

Wonderful setting and service
