From Friday 3 March until Monday 20 March, ‘Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe’ returns to one of Western Australia’s most iconic beaches for its 19th edition.

As one of Perth’s largest free public events usually attracting 180,000 visitors, Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe is a must-see for local and international seekers of fun and wonder.

Showcasing over 70 artists from 15 countries including Japan, USA, Switzerland and New Zealand, the exhibition also represents 31 sculptors from its home state to highlight Western Australia’s wealth of artistic talent.
