If you love the outdoors and you love creativity, then SWELL Sculpture Festival will be your idea of heaven.
SWELL is Queensland’s largest open-air sculpture exhibition and in 2023, the festival celebrates 21 years with more than 75 fabulous artworks adorning the sand and foreshore of beautiful Currumbin Beach on the southern Gold Coast.
There’s also a SWELL Smalls Gallery where artists can display their more diminutive pieces. And most works are for sale to the public.
SWELL Fringe is the festival hub and features workshops and masterclasses with artists, food and beverage trucks, live music and activities for creative kids.
Play with Clay offers pop-in-and-try potting wheels, raising money for Monte Lupo studios which employ artists with disability.
SWELL Feast is a fabulous long table dinner where guests get to take home their artisan-created plates, platters and napkins.
Pop a note in your diary and make sure you’re one of thousands of visitors to SWELL Sculpture Festival in 2024.
