A collection of artists gather each year in Sydney, Australia, to create public sculptures. The collective spreads out over a 2 km distance along the beach and includes over 100 artists from around the world. These artists’ zany and outlandish creations not only become a hot topic for locals, but will leave you in awe at the power of the human mind.
Don’t believe us? Prepare to be dazzled, Australia style!
Welcome to Sydney’s artist beach showdown, complete with a one of a kind frying pan by Andrew Hankin!
