Bondi Beach in Sydney will host Sculpture by the Sea from 16 October to 2 November 2026, turning the coastal route towards Tamarama into an outdoor exhibition. The event returns to the beach as a free public display of sculptures by artists from Australia and around the world.
Sculpture by the Sea returns to Bondi on 16 October
The organiser lists the exhibition for 16 October through 2 November 2026. Its venue is the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, which links the southern end of the beach with the neighbouring coastal suburb.
The exhibition is organised by Sculpture by the Sea Incorporated. The organiser describes the display as a two-kilometre sculpture park with 100 sculptures, while the New South Wales Government lists it as an exhibition and confirms that entry is free. The state event page also says the exhibition welcomes people with access needs. 2026 exhibition dates and venue
Bondi Beach connects a public beach with coastal art
The exhibition uses a setting that is already defined by the coast rather than a conventional gallery. Works will be placed along the walk between Bondi and Tamarama, so the route itself forms the link between the beach, the cliffs and the exhibition.
For visitors, the timing places the event in Sydney’s spring and gives the coastal walk a temporary cultural use. The combination of a named route, a fixed exhibition period and free admission distinguishes this programme from the beach’s regular daily activities. The New South Wales event listing identifies Marks Park in Tamarama as a location and describes the installation as a two-kilometre park featuring 100 works by Australian and international artists.
