ENGAGE

Through direct contact with exhibiting contemporary artists, teachers will have the unique opportunity to discuss ideas and issues that relate to their body of work and sculptural practice.

CREATE

Our Professional Learning events will provide educators with a real insight into the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition as well as sculptural practice in general. The ideas and activities that you discover can be taken back to the classroom and incorporated into future visual art programming.

For the first time in Bondi, Sculpture by the Sea will be offering an after school workshop for teacher's to explore practical art making activities and techniques that can be taken back into the classroom. The workshop will be led by an exhibiting artist and activities will be based on their work in the exhibition, with an emphasis on material exploration and skill development.
