Sculpture by the Sea 2016
The seaside sculpture exhibition returns for its 20th year.
Overview
It's a special birthday for one of Sydney's favourite art events, as 2016 marks twenty strong years from Sculpture by the Sea. Kicking off on Thursday, October 20, two clicks of Australia's most picturesque coastline in Bondi will be transformed into a living, breathing artscape. It's clear that the field of artists that make it through really are the best at what they do; with nearly 500 submissions coming in from 27 countries around the world, the competition is fierce.
There's also the chance for a chin wag with the artists themselves at the Aqualand Artist Talks series, which will run from 11am till 3pm on at Marks Park and Tamarama each weekend. Have a chat with the creators to find out more about their inspiration and vision. Plus, The Grounds of Alexandria have once again erected a pop-up cafe for the event, this year going with an Arizona-style hacienda at Tama. So keep your fingers crossed for good weather — the whole thing runs until November 6.
