As the current restrictions on visitor numbers for events in Sydney will not be lifted in time, we have no option but to postpone this year’s Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi from it’s scheduled opening date of 22 October. We continue to work with the State government agencies and Waverley Council to see what might be possible and whether the exhibition may be able to go ahead later in Spring.
Over 100 Australian and international artists have collectively spent around $1.5-$1.8M to create and freight their sculptures from around the world, so it was important to wait and see if there was any chance we could proceed with this year’s exhibition as planned. Now, like everyone, we are waiting to see what might be possible, being mindful that everyone’s health comes first.
