Monday 9 march - FRIDAY 3 APRIL 2009

Welcome to the 4th 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 9th March until Friday 3rd April, with the official opening on Thursday 12th March at Toyota Mosman. Our thanks also go to the Mayor of Mosman, Dom Lopez for proudly launching the 2009 Festival.

Awards and Judging:

There are three awards totaling $2,000. The judge for this year’s sculpture festival will be Nick Vickers who has had an extensive career in the arts. His roles have included director of the Sir Hermann Black Gallery & Sculpture Terrace at the University of Sydney, art curator of the University of Sydney Union Art, and art curator & acquisitions consultant at the University of Technology Union. He is currently the part time convener of the Society of the Arts at Trinity Grammar School (Delmar Gallery). Be part of the fun and come for a wander.
