Art Meets Bondi at Sculpture by the Sea

Once again, Sculpture by the Sea is transforming thestunning coastal walk between Bondi and Tamarama into the world’s largestannual free-to-the-public outdoor sculpture exhibition.

Celebrating 20 years, Sculpture by the Sea are exhibiting morethan 100 works by Australian and international artists, including artists fromAsia, Europe, New Zealand, South America, UK and the USA. A selection of 20Australian artists, who have previously exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, havebeen invited to exhibit again this year for their role in the strength and developmentof sculpture in Australia.

Attracting over 500,000 visitors during the 18-day open-airexhibit, Sculptures by the Sea captures the imagination of visitors by encouragingpeople to interact with the art or to simply absorb their place.
