Bondi Beach hosts Sculpture by the Sea, the outdoor art exhibition running from 16 October to 2 November 2026 along the coastal walk to Tamarama. The event turns a 2km stretch of Sydney coastline into a public sculpture route during its 30th year.
Sculpture by the Sea runs until 2 November
The exhibition is being held on the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, between the southern end of the beach and Tamarama. The programme includes 100 sculptures by Australian and international artists, placed along the clifftop route beside the ocean. The organiser's Bondi programme gives the closing date as 2 November 2026.
The 2026 edition began on 16 October and remains available to visitors through Monday 2 November. The exhibition is free, and the destination's official travel information says that no tickets or bookings are required. That makes the coastal walk itself the main setting rather than a separate enclosed gallery.
Bondi's clifftop route becomes an open-air gallery
The event follows a coastal path measuring 2km, with artworks distributed between Bondi and Tamarama. Its location connects the exhibition directly with one of Sydney's recognised beach walks, while the surrounding cliffs and ocean remain part of the setting. Sydney's event information identifies the 2026 show as the event's 30th year and records the 100-work programme.
For travellers, the date matters because the exhibition changes what is encountered along the route: the walk is also an outdoor art venue until 2 November. The combination of a fixed exhibition period and a defined coastal path gives visitors a specific section of Sydney to explore during the current spring programme.
