Returning to the two-kilometre Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, this marks thirty years since the beginning of Sculpture by the Sea.
Featuring one hundred sculptures and attracting 450,000 local and international visitors to Bondi each year, another 2026 milestone of this free-to-the-public outdoor sculpture exhibition includes the fiftieth Sculpture by the Sea exhibition for Japanese artist Keizo Ushio; Ushio exhibited over twenty times at the sister exhibition on Perth’s Cottesloe Beach and the previous Sculpture by the Sea in Denmark.
