Fostering community engagement and positive well-being this free community event has developed over 23 years to encourage and stimulate established and emerging artists to showcase their sculptures. This Great Southern Event is now well-established on the local event calendar.

Located in the natural bushland surrounding the Porongurup Hall this outdoor event provides the public with the chance to view and buy one-off sculptures and art pieces as well as cast their vote to help determine the People’s Choice award winner. In conjunction with Art in the Porongurup, the Porongurup Craft Group run their annual Art Bazaar, the two events entwine very well, complementing both Sculpture and Art.

The Porongurup Community Association (PCA) took over organising this event in 2023 seeing the importance and popularity of the event. Wanting to continue to attract people to the region whilst also supporting the arts community and needing to fundraise to upgrade the Porongurup Hall.

Originally called Art in the Park, the venue has changed over the years, in the past, it was held at Mount Trio Vineyard, the Karri On Bar, in the Porongurup Range National Park by the Castle Rock car park and finally came to rest aptly at the Porongurup Hall.

Hosted by a subcommittee of the Porongurup Community Association Inc. (PCA), a small but active not-for-profit volunteer group, this event meets its core objective – to foster community spirit and fellowship in the Porongurup.

This event is popular with both adults and children. As there is no entrance fee it provides an economical family day out. Visitors can spend an hour or more looking through the sculpture nature walk, cast their vote and then look through the Art Bazaar and enjoy a coffee and cake or light lunch inside the hall.  The event focus remains to motivate creative minds and create a fun, safe and enjoyable environment for all ages.
