Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi 2017
21st Anniversary Bondi Exhibition


Coming of Age

This October marks 21 years of Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi and it is inevitable that an important age birthday of this kind generates many coming of age stories. As we enter into the final production period for next month’s opening we reflect on the recurring themes of education, relationships and friendships that tend to feature in any narrative that focuses on growth and development.
