Who we are
We are a Not for Profit organisation with members consisting of artists, designers, educators, environmentalists, event managers, business owners, curators, and the local community.
Through interactive installations and workshops we endeavour to surprise you with a sculptural walk along the foreshores of Brunswick Heads, culminating in an event held triennially around late September - October long weekend. With the inaugural event being held in 2015, 2018.
It is a free, grassroots event, developed to be sensitive to the environment. Sculptors, performers, artists, community and visitors are able to respond to site specific art and contribute to its evolving nature.
This diverse landscape has wetlands, coastal scrub, rivers, ocean dunes and open parklands lending itself to sculptural installations that raise awareness to place and connect community through Art and Nature.
