Keith Cameron - 'Geodesic Dome'
A triennial Nature Sculpture Walk in Brunswick Heads
Over 40 nationally recognised artists
Connecting Artists and Community through sculpture in the environment where all 'play a part & all like to play'
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 create a sculptural walk along the foreshore of Brunswick Heads, culminating in an event held triennially over the October long weekend our inaugural event was 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.

The 'Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk' invites nationally recognised artists to present works from the popular to the conceptually demanding.
Providing much needed opportunities for regional artists to engage with community and offer workshops and mentoring by interstate and local artists across different regions and states.
Visitors can engage with a range of sculptures and participate in art and environment workshops, guided tours and information from local environment groups such as Byron Bird Buddies, Landcare and Dune Care specialists.
