One of Perth’s largest, and longest running, well-loved public events, Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe has been paused, with the 2025 edition cancelled. Sculpture by the Sea was founded by David Handley in 1996 on the concept of providing free exhibitions for everyone to enjoy, by transforming Australian beaches into temporary world-class sculpture parks. With the initial exhibition held in Bondi, the initiative then expanded to include Darwin, Albany, Noosa and Tasman Peninsula. Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe Beach was launched in 2005, occurs for 18 days each year over March, and attracts an estimated 220,000 visitors.
