Since the first exhibition in 2002, Sculpture in the Vineyards has attracted art lovers from all over Australia to our beautiful valley.

For this, our 17^thyear, we are doing things differently starting with our new name Sculpture in the Vineyards, the Wollombi Valley Sculpture Festival.

From now on the whole of the Wollombi Valley will be included in the festival which means more places to exhibit, both indoors and outdoors, and increased opportunities to sell your work.

The biggest and most exciting change this year is the significant cash prizes on offer.

Recently a group of Wollombi locals, who are dedicated to the success of this event, got together and have generously pledged $24,000 prize money by becoming Patrons and Sponsors for this year’s festival.

Local community organizations have very kindly donated a further $8,000 for the event.

We now have $32,000 in cash prizes.

1st Prize –  $20,000 

Small Sculpture Prize – $4,000 

Acquisition Prize – $6,000 

Children’s Choice Award – $1,000 

2325 Locals Prize – $1,000 

Artist in Residence Prize. 

Cessnock Regional Gallery Prize.

 All sculptures big and small are invited to enter.

   Entries to exhibit are open 1st July- 14th August 2019
