THE WOLLOMBI VALLEY SCULPTURE FESTIVAL

Sculpture in the Vineyards, The Wollombi Valley Sculpture Festival, is now in its 19^th year making it the oldest and largest not for profit Sculpture Festival in Regional NSW.

The 2021 Festival will be held 1 month earlier than previous years, opening on the September 11th and running for 16 days, including 3 weekends, till the 26th of September 2021.

The selection included seven previous Sculpture by the Sea major prize winners; Peter Lundberg, Paul Selwood, Jorg Plickat, Michael le Grand, Libby Bloxham, Harrie Fasher and Stephen King who won our major prize in 2020.

Other highly respected sculptors included Robert Barnstone, Stephen Coburn, Ron Robertson-Swann, Ayako Saito, Peter Tilley, Louis Pratt, Fiona Kemp, Hui Selwood, James McCallum and emerging artists, Amanda Lockton, Daniel Schwartz and Rode Vella.
