The Nicholas Harding Estate, Tweed Regional Gallery, Glasshouse Port Macquarie and Manly Art Gallery & Museum present Beach Life, a major touring exhibition for 2026–2027 featuring works by Nicholas Harding (1956-2022). Drawn from the Estate’s private collection, this selection of works offers a glimpse into Harding’s profound connection to New South Wales. Featuring lush oil paintings, dynamic ink on paper, and luminous watercolours, the exhibition celebrates Harding’s masterful ability to capture the fleeting moments of life by the New South Wales coast. The exhibition presents an unmissable opportunity to engage with the enduring legacy of one of Australia’s most beloved painters with limited ink drawings and selected prints available for sale.

Developed and presented by the Nicholas Harding Estate.
