Sculpture on the Peninsula was established in 2000 and is the largest sculpture exhibition in Te Wai Pounamu the South Island.
Event manager Gill Hay has been overseeing Sculpture on the Peninsula for the past nineteen years and she says that this year ‘surpassed all our expectations. The diversity and standard of submissions was outstanding.’
Sculpture on the Peninsula opens 8 November at the Loudon Farm in Banks Peninsula and runs over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 9 to 10 November. Hay says that ‘the “farm gallery” provides a broad scope for contributing sculptors with its numerous contoured land features, sheds, farm buildings, verandahs, trees and contemporary gardens.’
