Bondi

Sculpture by the Sea began in 1997 with an exhibition held over one day at Bondi Beach and is now an annual event, held over the first three weeks of November. Every year the coastal walk is transformed into a seaside art gallery as the works of sculpture are spread across the cliff from Tamarama Beach

 to Bondi Beach. Over 100 sculptures are exhibited in the background of sea and the coastal landscape along the two kilometre coastal walk. Sculpture by the Sea at Bondi attracts an estimated annual attendance of 500,000 people each year to view the sculptures. Parking in certain streets close to the exhibition is restricted to the local residents. An indoor exhibition of works is held in Mark's Park, at Tamarama where exhibited items may be purchased.

The Bondi exhibition is principally funded by philanthropy and commercial sponsorship, with the first New South Wales Government grant since its establishment awarded for the 20112014 exhibitions to assist with artist support. According to consultants Booz & Co, the exhibition generates A$23 million in direct spending for the local economy and is run at a cost of A$2 million a year.
