THE highly anticipated annual art festival Sculpture on the Edge, has been transformed into 18 day sensory extravaganza. This year the event showcasing the very best in sculpture and installation ran from from Thursday, November 23 through to Sunday, December 10, at Flaxton Gardens.
Brisbane based artist, Mela Cooke, was crowned winner of the People’s Choice award for her beautifully evocative bronze sculpture, Halcyon Days.
For the Artist’s Choice Peer award, talented sculpture artist Jean Bennett won the honour for her piece, Landscape Within. Arts Connect Inc’s art extravaganza is based around their highly contested sculpture competition, with a wide range of local and Queensland based artists selected as finalists for 2023. There were numerous works available for sale throughout the multi week event, and was open to the public everyday from 8am-4pm, with artist talks and tours on offer too.
