There are more than 70 artists who are exhibiting this year on the 13th annual Sculpture by the Sea. This is a major free event that portray the City of Sydney in a culturally sophisticated yet also comfortably relaxed light. Sculpture by the Sea is also a way to facilitate dream of artist to show their work to a much bigger crowd and making art become more accessible to the wider community.

From 29 October to 15 November, the Coastal Walk from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Bay become an open air gallery, it is one of the top cultural event in Sydney that attracts a lot of visitors both locally and internationally.

A lot of students from different schools in NSW are given this opportunity to explore and visit the Sculpture of Sea, students learn about sculpture, it gives them ideas, inspiration and who knows one day they can create their own masterrpiece.

Sculpture by Sea is my favourite spring event, my daughter and I always visit this event since 2006. I enjoy taking photos, it is truly a photographer's delight, I hope you will enjoy the photos that I have put together.

The sculptures range from the obvious to the mind bogglingly obscure, to hilarious to the serious and to sincere to the irreverent.
