2020 EXHIBITION
Sculpture at Scenic World is an outdoor exhibition sited along the elevated Scenic Walkway. Artworks from 30 artists will be displayed in a temperate rainforest with an independent judging panel awarding the coveted Scenic World Major Prize of A$20,000.
Nestled within World Heritage wilderness in the Jamison Valley, the exhibition is accessed via the world's steepest train or for a gentle descent, the Scenic Cableway. Ticket price includes unlimited access to all Scenic World attractions and entry to Sculpture Otherwise at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre. Guests can extend their arts trail with Twist n Shout, an array of public artworks presented at multiple venues across the Blue Mountains.
All artworks are installed by experienced arborists and art handlers – Sculpture at Scenic World has proudly maintained a 0% ecological footprint since the exhibition's inception.
