About Newtown ArtSeat

Newtown ArtSeat offers a space where experimental and non-commercial art can be showcased.

It is a permanent structure in Newtown's Pride Square that combines public seating, artwork display and lighting. The site is highly visible and exposes any artwork to thousands of passers-by each day. 

The ArtSeat has become a landmark in Newtown.

Artist statement

Dance-A-Queeria is a joyful procession of queer legs in motion, each stepping forward in a different shoe, style, and attitude. Drawing on camp, femininity, and the politics of visibility, the work celebrates difference as collective strength.

The repeating form suggests unity, while the mismatched footwear honours the many ways queer bodies move through the world. By turning a simple walk into a dance, the artwork claims public space as a site of pride, play, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression.
