Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk
The fourth, triennial, Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk will be held, OCT 3rd - 13th, 2024.
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.
The Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk is an environmentally sensitive, FREE family sculpture walk set in the beautiful foreshore parklands of Brunswick Heads. The focus of the Nature Sculpture Walk is to connect community to nature, through art. We showcase the work of nationally recognised local, interstate and internationally recognised artists whose art reflects environmental themes. It is run by community volunteers for the community.
The ‘Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk’ provides an opportunity to align with a positive environmentally sustainable community supported FREE event. The 2015, 2018 and 2021 Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walks were an outstanding success, through valued support from community business and partners.
The ‘Brunswick Nature Sculpture Walk 2024’ attracts audiences from the regions, Interstate and overseas which have brought over $3 million dollars to the area whilst the event is on. With proven large numbers of people attending our expectations this year are estimated between 20,000 people over the increased 10-day event in October 2024.
