Featuring more than one hundred large-scale sculptures and a gallery of smaller-scale works, this annual event includes Queensland’s largest outdoor sculpture exhibition, held along Currumbin Beach ocean walkway to Flat Rock Tugun between giant rock formations.
With more than 300 Australian and international artists, there are also pop-up exhibitions across the coastal city, as well as SWELL Smalls Gallery at its beachside venue and cultural programs at SWELL Fringe in Wallace Nicoll Park and Kids Elements in Lenn Wort Park, Currumbin.
