WHO WE ARE
We are a Not for Profit organisation auspiced by the Brunswick Heads Residence Association.
Members consist of artists, designers, educators, environmentalists, event managers, business owners, curators, mothers, and live in partnership with community connecting through Art and Nature.
The 'Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk' invites nationally recognised artists to present works, from the popular to the conceptually demanding. It is a free, grassroots event, developed to be sensitive to the environment.
The diverse landscape of Brunswick Heads includes wetlands, coastal scrub, rivers, ocean dunes and open parklands lending itself to sculptural installations.
Artists across different disciplines including sculptors, performers, musicians, community groups and visitors respond to the landscape and contribute to its evolving nature. Through interactive installations and workshops we endeavour to share with audiences a selection of sculptural installations and sensory experiences.
We provide much needed opportunities for regional artists to engage with community and be mentored by International and Interstate artists.
Our inaugural Triennial, 'Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk ' was first held in OCT 2015
