25.01.2022 Today should have been day one of the 2020 Sculptures at Killalea festival and while it's been tough to come to terms with, it really has put into perspective what a year it has been for so many. Our thoughts are with all those who are suffering, be it in lockdown, drought, floods or fire, it's been an exceptionally tough year. We couldn't do it in 2020, but we plan to bring it back - and bring you altogether - again in 2021, until then be safe. ... We'd love to see some of your favourite memories from past years....share away! #sculpturesatkillalea

21.01.2022 2019 SCHOOLS WINNER - Lake Illawarra High School This year we received 8,051 votes for the Schools Category which is proudly sponsored by BlueScope WIN Community Partners and Stockland Shellharbour. A huge congratulations to Lake Illawarra High Schools' Harbour Centre (Support Unit) with their award-winning installation - East Coast Low (After Hokusai's 'The Great Wave'). The 3m x 1.8m weaving, using recycled materials and natural fibres was on display at Stockland Shellharb...our. Developing the school's program is an important part of our festival so we can continue to support art and creative learning for the next generation. Thank you to ALL the schools who entered their students this year, it's not lost on us how many extra hours and out-of-hours work goes into collating, installing, removing and coordinating all the elements to get you to this point - it's not a small task!! Share your favourite school photos below!!

19.01.2022 We're very grateful to have Click walk learn photography tours on hand this festival to help capture some of the incredible works. Check out the below opportunity but be quick - spots are strictly limited!

19.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart and much deliberation that we advise that Sculptures at Killalea 2020 has been postponed. Several factors have impacted this decision and it has not come easy - or willingly. The impact of COVID-19 has been too great - on the community and our corporate partners - and we don't believe we are in a position to deliver an event that would be in the best interests of the artists or community. ... HOWEVER, not all is lost. We are looking to reschedule and hopefully, we'll be back with some very good news, very soon... stay tuned! #sculpturesatkillalea

19.01.2022 Oh, what we'd give to gather like this again... Early this week artists would have received an update on the changes to this year's festival and proposed adjustments we may need to make in a hope that we will be able to return to the NSW South Coast come September. We're committed to making this the best year yet and more so, to continue to support and encourage the arts - and artists - who support us.... For those looking to apply or showcase their works in 2020, please take a moment to head to our website and read the latest: www.sculpturesatkillalea.com.au

09.01.2022 2019 - PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER. Luke Turnbull - Karma. For those who aren't aware, Luke is 11 years old and an environmentalist with a love of the oceans.... "I wish that people would understand that it is ultimately us that we are hurting when we throw litter carelessly. "Most people dont care about fish and sea life and STILL litter in our oceans. What they dont think about is that their litter ends up becoming part of the fishes diet and therefore KARMA, in eating seafood they eat their own litter. This is a shocking piece where inside the fishes eye is lit up to expose careless litter in its belly made to make people think before they throw"
