Stickybeak: Sculpture by the Sea
The Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Sydney and Perth is Australia’s largest annual outdoor sculpture exhibition. This exhibition was initiated in 1997, at Bondi Beach and it featured sculptures by both Australian and overseas artists. In 2005, a companion event was established at Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia featuring over 70 artists. In 2009 it was announced that Aarhus in Denmark would host the first Sculpture by the Sea exhibition outside of Australia.
We had the opportunity to interview an exhibition goer Ryan Douglas who along with his family make sculpture into an annual event for their entire family. For him sculpture stands as one of the greatest art displays in the modern world. Ryan and his family have been visiting sculptures by the sea since 2017. Throughout that time Ryan has seen not only some of the best artist pieces in the world but also the impact these works have on the society around him.
However there is not long left! If you would like to go visit or check out Sculpture by the Sea it is running until 7th November. Head over to there social media pages @sculpturesbythesea or check out their website.
