Sculpture by the Sea 2014

Overview

You'd be hard-pressed to find anything more universally loved by Sydneysiders than the gorgeous stretch of coast along the Bondi to Coogee walk. And now that the daylight hours are getting longer and spring is well under way, there's no excuse not to don our walking shoes to enjoy the iconic scenery.

Perhaps the one time of the year when Sydney really outshines itself in the looks department is during the annual Sculpture by the Sea, the world's largest public art exhibition of its kind. It's been 18 years since its inception, but the views evidently haven't gotten any less tiring to look at, with visitors growing more and more every year. This year, over 100 works from 34 artists around the globe will dot the landscape from Tamarama to Bondi once again — with a dozen sculptures from Japan alone.

This year there'll also be sustenance on the trail — and holistic, ultra-Sydney sustenance at that. The Grounds of Alexandria is running a pop-up cafe, The Grounds by the Sea, for the duration of the exhibition.
