Sculpture by the Sea, 2025
The popular exhibition sees the Bondi-Tamarama coastal walk lined up with stunning sculptures along the coastline. Now in its huge 27th year, the exhibition is pulling out all the stops to make it a show to remember.
This year, the exhibition features the works of celebrated Australian artist Tim Storrier AM, Japanese artist Keizo Ushio, Shen Lieyi from China, and artists Lucy Barker & Jane Gillings, who have exhibited individually over ten times at Sculpture by the Sea. Four works by leading sculptors from India, Shovin Bhatacharjee, Niharika Hukku, Professor Latika Katt, and Dr Subodh Kerkar will also be displayed.
Sculpture by the Sea began in 1997 as a one-day event and has since seen enormous success, becoming the world’s largest annual outdoor sculpture exhibition. It’s also completely free to visit.
Not only can visitors expect jaw-dropping artworks from across the region, but the exhibition also provides an excellent platform and visibility to local and international artists. Sculpture by the Sea has also hosted other fantastic exhibitions, including the Snowy Valleys Sculpture Trail — along 100km of the gorgeous Snowy Valleys Way, and Sculpture Rocks which opened to great applause in 2021.
