At SWELL, we are celebrating the festive season by bringing to you another ’12 Days of Sculpture.’ Take a trip around the world with us, as we explore 12 amazing sculptures from different countries.

Head on over to our socials to find out more about these fascinating sculptures, and follow to see the rest of our journey around the globe!

Artists are invited to be brave, bold and daring with their creative minds and apply to be a part of SWELL 2022, Queensland’s largest outdoor sculpture exhibition taking place at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast.
 
SWELL is a ten-day manifestation of conceptions and visual commentary, and presents small, medium and large-scale sculpture, installations, and digital works as a FREE outdoor gallery at Currumbin Beach, September 9-18, 2022.
 
Artists from across Australia and the world working in all mediums are invited to submit. SWELL welcomes the opportunity to work with artists who are keen to break new ground in sculpture presentation and installation art. Works can be site-specific, display ephemeral qualities and should invite dialogue and instigate inspired conversations through craftsmanship, kinetics, message or artistic exploration. 

Highlights include a major $15,000 award, with the award pool totalling $27,500, industry networking and profiling and opportunities to participate in artists talks, host workshops and the potential to sell works.

Submissions are welcome from professional, mid-career and emerging artists – Submit online by 31 January, 2022.
