Lake Light Sculpture

CALL FOR ENTRIES - EASTER 2021

An Outdoor and Indoor Sculpture Exhibition

Preparations are well underway for a Covid safe Lake Light Sculpture exhibition which will be held at Banjo Paterson Park over the Easter long weekend 2nd - 5th April 2021.

After the 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid lockdowns, the committee is hard at work to return this much loved Easter event, making it bigger and better than ever before. We invite all our past exhibitors and anyone contemplating entering for the first time, to help us deliver a spectacular array of works set against our stunning Snowy Mountains back drop and still water lake.

The event is an outdoor and indoor sculpture exhibition open to professional and novice artists.  We also welcome entries from students and tradies that are keen to create and exhibit a sculpture that is controversial and thought-provoking or fun and whimsical.  Several diverse award categories are on offer in addition to our Major Prize of $10,000 and often, artworks qualify for many categories.  Head to our website www.lakelightsculpture.com.au and click on the Entries tab for more information.

At our last event, more than 80 sculptures lined the pathway around the Lake Jindabyne foreshore.  Another 37 were displayed as part of the indoor exhibition.  Each display entertained visitors both during the day and at night with the outdoor exhibition particularly stunning where the sculptures were beautifully illuminated.  Sculpture sales exceeded $100,000.

The deadline for entries is Friday 26th February, 2021  

The online entry form is simple to complete and is available through the website.  Click https://lakelightsculpture.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9219806b7435d4cfafcb85cb2&id=926792c5a9&e=c6c6fe9bc2 to go straight to it.  If you require any assistance with this registration process, please contact Coleena McCarty, our Entries Co-ordinator at entries@lakelightsculpture.com.au or 0477 514 050.

The prize pool for 2021 is in excess of $26,000 and we are looking forward to another successful event for our exhibitors and our visitors.  We are always encouraging artists to provide their own lighting for their outdoor entry, so they qualify for the $5,000 Illumination Award.  Power for these entries will still be supplied by Lake Light Sculpture. The event for 2021 will again feature the Indoor Exhibition which will be held at Rydges Snowy Mountains.  This will appeal to artists who work in glass, delicate or fragile materials that can’t bear the wear and tear of an outdoor sculpture exhibition.  Sculptures that can sit comfortably on a plinth will loosely meet the criteria.  This will allow many of our traditional and long-term exhibiting artists to enter another category.

The Lake Light Sculpture Committee look forward to receiving your entries and welcoming you to our region for Easter 2021.
