One of the most spectacular art exhibitions in Australia, Sculpture by the Sea, is celebrating its 25th year this spring of 2023. Amazing sculptures have delighted Sydneysiders and visitors by enhancing this beautiful clifftop walk for 25 years, a great achievement in the world of art and sculpture. This exhibition is also the largest outdoor sculpture exhibition in the world, another reason to come and explore these works of art. And the best part of this exhibition? It's free for anyone to view and enjoy.

A 2km sculpture park along the Bondi to Tamarama Beach coastal walk will feature more than 100 sculptures by Australian artists and those from around the world. This exhibition is popular so be prepared for crowds along the walk, especially on weekends. Up to half a million people will visit the exhibition over the three weeks this spring as it is one of the most popular events in Sydney year after year.
I enjoy this walk both during the exhibition and at other times. The walk is spectacular even without the art, but add one of Australia's leading cultural events, Sculpture by the Sea, and this elevates the walk to another level. Make a date to go and experience this exhibition, which for 25 years has been delighting all who experience it.
