SWELL Sculpture Festival
Held annually on the Gold Coast, SWELL is one of Australia’s largest outdoor sculpture exhibitions, celebrating the intersection of community, art, and environment.
This long-running festival forms part of Art Common’s broader project experience, with foundational contributions to curatorial direction, artist engagement, site-responsive programming, and the delivery of community-focused public art outcomes between 2007 to 2018.
