Margaret River, Western Australia, 2020-Feb-24 — /Travel PR News/ — Now in its eleventh year, Sculpture by the Bay is an incredible display of art that transforms the foreshore of Dunsborough for three days over the first March long weekend.
History of Sculpture by the Bay
The event first took place in 2010, drawing a modest display of 12 individual sculptures from local artists. Founded as a showcase for exhibiting outdoor works of beauty and interest, this volunteer coordinated event was the brainchild of the Dunsborough Progress Association. Not only did it provide an exhibition opportunity for Australia’s many artists, but also to develop a sculptural trail in the town and surrounding area.
The event grew in popularity, and in 2019 saw the event expanded to introduce the Small Sculpture Prize, allowing those with smaller works of art to also take part. The event has attracted an ever-growing army of fans, and last year saw more than 10,000 visitors arrive to view the 48 outside works and 28 small inside pieces on display.
Today the exhibition remains on the original site, an is found at the end of Dunn Bay Road at Dunsborough Foreshore.
Awards
Artists can choose to enter one or more of the following categories:
In addition, there’s three separate categories for the small sculpture awards. This includes a further People’s Choice category, meaning that all visitors can get involved in deciding who wins the sought after prizes.
