Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Such a vibrant bubbling collective of creatives. Well worth the visit. Make sure you head there later in the week or on a Saturday.

If you are after local art this is a great place .
It's great to see a good variety of artists and creators and their work spaces. You get to explore the studios of the artists ; sculptors, painters , jewellers, potters, and not only have the oppportunity to purchase directly from the artist but talk with them about their work.
The Arts precinct is a total destination where you can leave with a beautiful bunch of flowers , buy art supplies or a piece of art, experience an exhibition or watch a movie . As a bonus you can then relax with a drink from the local brewery before taking home some delicious cheese or French pastry.
A nice surprise .

This is a cleverly designed space to highlight the local art/craft scene. Unfortunately we visited mid week and a lot of the “containers” were closed. The florist though was open and was particularly good. If the bar and more places were open it would be a great spot to while away a few hours.

On a recent holiday to Coolangatta, I decided to go to Murwillumbah for the day. M-Arts is a small place for artists in the area to showcase their work> The day I went, not all of the shops - many were renovated shipping containers - were open and they were setting up for perhaps an event.
I think being a weekday instead of a weekend makes a difference, but it was interesting to browse.

What a wonderful space. Visited with my 12yo daughter. It was a joy to see her moving around and interacting in a space where she just fitted.
The space itself housed some fantastic creators ans some wonderful artwork.
Will definitely be regulars.

Live poetry at Poets Out Loud third Thursdays of every month. We love the working artist studios, markets, and galleries. There's always something to see.

Tucked away in Proudfoot Lane, on the corner of Brisbane Street, the M-Arts Precinct is a gem. Painters, sculptors, fabric artists and jewellers are some of the creative people in this edgy, industrial-themed centre, There is a top class art supply store and framer and the nearby gallery, cafes and restaurants make a trip to this part of Murwillumbah a treat.
