Sculpture by the Sea returns to Cottesloe

Cottesloe’s iconic outdoor art exhibition, Sculpture by the Sea, will celebrate its 21st anniversary when it returns to Cottesloe Beach in March, following a hiatus in 2025.

One of Australia’s largest free public events, the exhibition attracts over 230,000 local, interstate and international visitors each year. Over 30 West Australian artists will exhibit at this year’s Sculpture by the Sea, which runs from Friday, March 6 to Monday, March 23.

Returning thanks to grant funding of $750,000 a year from the Australian government, the exhibition will also feature 70 artworks by artists from across Australia and around the world, including 11 artists from Japan and four from Denmark.

Sculpture by the Sea is on display at Cottesloe Beach from Friday, March 6 to Monday, March 23, 2026.
