SWELL Sculpture Festival
Gold Coast, QLD
Held annually on the Gold Coast’s Currumbin Beach, 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 programs between 2007 to 2018.
