When?: 5 June 2009 – 7 July 2009  – 5:00 PM

Entries close 5pm on Tuesday 7 July 2009.

This is always a winner on a sunny day or warm evening.  Whilst the sculptures are always impressive to look at – this is also set along the fantastic coastal walk between Bondi Beach and Tamarama.

Sculpture by the Sea is Australia’s largest annual outdoor ‘free to the public’ exhibition of sculpture. The 2008 exhibition features over 100 sculptures from 7 different countries and will run for a total of three weeks.

A great day for the family or with friends.

Remember: Sun screen, water and the camera!

For more details – check out the official website here.

Entry is free.

It’s nearly here folks.  Are you counting down the hours until the day ends and you officially start a long weekend.?  Let’s just hope the weather holds out!

If you’re feeling a bit arty this weekend, why not check out Art & About 2008?  Has it really been a whole year since the last one?  Wow.

Starting this weekend (Sat) you can check out ‘Live Lanes – By George’ & ‘Sydney Life’ – the first of many events for Art & About.

Live Lanes – By George
4th October – 31st January (don’t worry if you miss it this weekend then!)

With work by artists from the City of Sydney’s artist run initiatives By George! explores the potential of the City’s laneways, bringing them back to life with creativity, innovation and new energy. 

Sydney Life (Central walkway, Hyde Park North)
4th October – 26th October

Sydney Life, the annual photography competition held in Hyde Park as part of Art & About, is stronger than ever in 2008.

There were many passionate arguments from the four judges during the judging. The result is a fascinating collection of different moods, observations and styles. There is humour, comment, portraiture, darkness and domesticity.

Sydney Life is proud of its record of showing a mix of emerging and established artists. This year is no exception. Many well-known photographers entered, several of whom have been selected in previous years. There are also the works of many new and up and coming photographers included in the final selection.

The location of Hyde Park continues to be the star of this popular public art event. I am delighted that Sydney Life is once again enlivening this much-loved green respite in the middle of the CBD.

Sandy Edwards Curator, Sydney Life
