Sculpture in the Annexe

Sculpture's in the air with the biennial Sculpture in the Valley exhibition taking place in September. It's looking set to be a fantastic show.

In the meantime, get your sculpture loving self down to Spud Lane where you can see a rare small work by David Ball, previous winner and this year's curator of the Kangaroo Valley show. Not to mention a dreamy small sculpture by Victorian artist Jimmy Rix that has been enthalling visitors with its quiet beauty.

Also featuring in this curation are a number of striking wall-based timber constructions from Sydney artist Tony Twigg which will delight all lovers of multi-dimensional work. Rounding out the curation are diverse artworks by our resident artists Ric Abel and Cat Doyle.

Our aim is to showcase a diverse range of artworks so that there's always something new to enjoy each time you visit. July's selection is shown below:
