With over 100 artworks by Australian and international sculptors, the world’s largest free-to-the-public outdoor sculpture exhibition will surprise and delight for its 24th year, with approximately 450,000 visitors expected to attend over the three-week exhibition.
Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi began in 1997 as a one-day exhibition run by volunteers featuring works by 64 artists and attended by 25,000 visitors. Since then, the event has grown to become the largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world featuring numerous esteemed international artists.
The Sculpture by the Sea organisation also recently launched a new and significant permanent sculpture collection, the Snowy Valleys Sculpture Trail, along 100km of the stunning Snowy Valleys Way in the historic towns of Adelong, Batlow, Tumbarumba, the hamlet of Tooma and the Tumbarumba wine region cellar doors. Created in response to the Black Summer Fires of 2019-2020, the trail will continue to expand with additional sculptures to be installed later in 2022 and the first half of 2023, growing to over 35 sculptures.
