Monday 3 march - saturday 29 March 2008

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mosman Villlage Festival of Sculpture.

Located in the heart of one of Sydney's fashionable shopping precincts, the Mosman Village will be home to some 80 contemporary sculptures prominently displayed in selected shops between Raglan Street and Belmont Road, Mosman during the month of March.

From a giant stainless steel swordfish to a cement handbag… from the quirky and humorous to the elegant… in bronze, steel, stone, glass and wood… a great variety of sculptures will create a trail of art through the Village. Art is moving out of the art gallery directly to the public.

The Festival highlights the co-operative spirit between the local retailers and traders, and the artists from the Sculptors Society (www.sculptorssociety.com).

Launch:

The exhibition runs from Monday 3 March until Saturday 29th March, with the official opening on Thursday 6th March at the Mosman RS Club. Our thanks also go to Geoffrey Grist of Coldwell Banker, Neutral Bay for proudly launching the 2008 Festival.

Awards and Judging:

There are three awards totaling $2,000 as well as a people’s choice award. The judge for the exhibition is Kiralynne Hill, Curator of the Art Gallery and Sculpture Park at Macquarie University. Be part of the fun and come for a wander.

Make sure you vote for your favourite piece in THE Lin & Barrett PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD and be in the running to win a $500 shopping voucher. Click here to VIEW & PRINT an entry form.
