SWELL transforms public places into family-friendly outdoor sculpture galleries, allowing you to engage with people, art, and place! The SWELL Sculpture Festival returns to Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast from September 8 to 17. If you have yet to experience the 10-day outdoor sculpture display, now is the chance to do so!
SWELL 2023
SWELL Sculpture Festival is a multidisciplinary arts organisation based in Currumbin on Queensland's Gold Coast. The event has put on 873 sculptures at the principal show on Currumbin Beach since 2003 and has continued to forge links between people, art, and the setting.
The SWELL Sculpture Festival Gold Coast is still strong, with Currumbin Beach becoming a vast outdoor art exhibition. Modern sculptures by local, national, and international artists will be on display. The 2023 edition will feature 70 monumental modern sculptures plus pop-up installations. Also returning are The SWELL Smalls Gallery on the beach and the cultural activities at SWELL Fringe in Wallace Nicoll Park in Currumbin.
The festival is not only exciting but also inspiring. If you're looking for a creative fix, check out the different fascinating events, such as guided twilight walks around the artwork, live music, comedy, master classes, artist talks close to the sculptures, and artist-led workshops.
Take notice that the festival attracts a considerable crowd. To guarantee that you experience the 10-day festival entirely, arrange an ingenious break as you go about your festival activities.
