Sculpture by the Sea to celebrate its 20th anniversary this summer

Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe will celebrate its 20th anniversary when it returns to Cottesloe Beach, Perth from 1-18 March 2024. One of Australia’s largest free public events, the exhibition manages to attract over 250,000 local, interstate and international visitors to the famous Cottesloe beach each year.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary milestone exhibition, over 70 artists from 15 countries have been invited to exhibit by Sculpture by the Sea’s National Artistic Advisory Committee.

Respected sculptors from WA and across Australia will be joined by renowned international artists, with 13 Japanese artists set to exhibit alongside artists from England, New Zealand, USA and Switzerland, representing excellence in sculpture from around the globe.

Since the exhibition began in 2005 with 35 sculptures on the iconic white sands of Cottesloe Beach, 592 artists from 44 countries have exhibited 1,298 sculptures.

Many of these works are then purchased by councils and placed in suburbs across the state, colouring up our communities beyond the beach.
