Take a Look: Sculpture in the Vineyards
Sculpture in the Vineyards, is in its 18th year. This not-for-profit Sculpture Exhibition is held over 16 days, including 3 weekends in the middle of spring and is one of the oldest and largest sculpture festivals in Regional NSW.
This year, 166 works from 103 sculptors were selected for the exhibition from 300 national and international submissions that were received. They are installed across several locations in the area, including in two boutique Vineyards, five indoor galleries and many public spaces throughout the Wollombi Valley. This year’s selection includes seven previous Sculpture by the Sea major prize winners; Peter Lundberg, Paul Selwood, Jorg Plickat, Michael le Grand, Stephen King, Libby Bloxham and Harrie Fasher.
Other highly respected artists include Stephen Coburn, Ron Robertson-Swann, Ayako Saito, Peter Tilley, Louis Pratt, Fiona Kemp, Hui Selwood, James McCallum and Robert Barnstone who won the major prize in 2019. Emerging artists, Amanda Lockton and Daniel Schwartz have also been selected again this year.
The exhibition also includes Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School teachers Karen Alexander, Wendy Black, Carol Crawford, Monika Scarrabelotti, as well as TBSSS students Dinah Davis, Jules Jones and Elena Murgia. Wendy Black should also be congratulated for her work as curator of the Exhibition.
