The South West Rocks Community Art Gallery, Rotary SWR & Macleay Valley Coast announce the first annual “Sculptures Rock” in the Gallery and grounds and in the adjoining grounds of the Maritime Precinct. The Gallery is housed in the Pilot House which along with the Maritime Museum, Visitor Information Centre and the Arts & Crafts Cottage make up the heritage listed Maritime Precinct in South West Rocks.

Artists from all over Australia are encouraged to register to exhibit.

This new addition to the Gallery calendar offers a fantastic opportunity for artists from the region and across the country to exhibit both large and small sculptures.

The sculpture prize, previously known as Sculpture in the Gaol, will now be held within the grounds of the Maritime Precinct overlooking the stunning beaches of South West Rocks. The event has always been an important one on the regional arts calendar, while supporting increased visitation to the shire. It is envisaged that it will be even more popular in the new location.

The Small Sculptures will be exhibited within the Gallery and in the Gallery Shed.

Sculptures Rock will run for 3 weeks and 3 weekends from Monday 16th December 2024 (set up day) through to Sunday 5th January 2025 (take down day). The December Members’ Exhibition of artwork will also be running, during this time.

Sculptures Rock is a collaboration between the South West Rocks Community Art Gallery, Rotary SWR and Macleay Valley Coast and offers a prize pool of $16,000.
