Sculpture by the Sea will return to the Bondi to Tamarama Beach coastal walk as the world’s largest free to the public sculpture exhibition in 2024.
Set across the spectacular Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, the exhibition features over 100 works created by artists from 18 countries around the world, including: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, India, Indonesia, Japan, Lithuania, New Zealand, Slovakia, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine and USA.
This year, we welcome 39 first-time exhibitors and celebrate three artist milestones: Japanese artist, Takeshi Tanabe and Sydney local, Paul Bacon both join the Decade Club as they exhibit at the Bondi exhibition for the tenth time; and New England based artist, James Rogers is the newest member of the Double Decade Club, having exhibited for the first time in the first Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi exhibition in 1997.
Sculpture by the Sea Bonidi are expecting up to 450,000 visitors over the 18-day exhibition and parking is extremely limited in Bondi – the best way to get to and from the event is by public transport!

Getting Around the Exhibition
The coastal walk around the exhibition looks a little different this year. Due to the rock fall that occured earlier this year, part of the regular route will be closed off. See our map for our recommended walking route.
Please note that the first section of the route will have a one way walking system will be in place on the weekends, as indicated by the arrows. Starting from Notts Ave, heading south through to the entrance of Marks Park.
The recommended walking route is approximately 2km long and includes many stairs. If long distances or staircases are an issue for you, please see our Accessibility Information below.

We wish for Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi to be accessible to all. So we have mapped out two suggested routes as an alternative to the 2km coastal walk that allows you to see most of the exhibition, ensuring you don't have to miss out.
BLUE ROUTE - For people not comfortable with stairs or walking long distances.
PURPLE ROUTE - For people comfortable with stairs and walking over 1km.

Marks Park is our designated drop-off and pick-up zone for visitors requiring accessible entrance to the site – the location of the drop-off area is on the corner of Kenneth Street and Marks Lane. The park is a mostly flat area that showcases a large selection of the sculptures in the exhibition.
