Three weekends. 41 artists. Plenty of massive sculptures.
Overview
Three weekends. 41 artists. Plenty of massive sculptures. That's whats's on the agenda when the Lorne Sculpture Biennial returns for 2018, with a new array of huge creations exploring the theme 'Landfall'.
It's the sixth time that the fest has turned the Lorne foreshore and the surrounding areas on the Great Ocean Road into one amazing sculpture playground, with 65,000 folks checking out the results back in 2016. Attendees can expect sculptures and installations that focus on the intersection of nature, humanity and art, all for their viewing pleasure — and, for free as well.
Highlights include a four-kilometre walking track between Erskine River to the St George River, featuring 25 artists and including many site-specific pieces. Or, there's the Sculpturescape trail, where nine artists reimagine the landscape in their own ways. And, four pieces will emerge victorious as part of LSB's annual awards.
Of course, moseying on down for a stint of sculpture-viewing however you see fit is also on the agenda. The mammoth artworks will be on display 24 hours a day, seven days a week between March 17 and April 2.
