HistoRy
Sculpture by the Sea 1997-2010 made from David Handley thinking. He spent long time to create this project. The concept for Sculpture by the Sea was the culmination of many years thinking, where a new step in the thought process came up every year or so. Essentially the exhibition came from his wish to create a major free to the public arts event for Sydney.
He said that, he loved large community arts events like 'Opera in the Park' and 'Symphony Under the Stars', especially the way total strangers sit next to each other listening to music while enjoying a picnic dinner and a few glasses of wine. To me this sense of community is too rarely displayed or available in the modern world where there are few opportunities for seriously enjoyable cultural activities that are free and not fringe (but hey, long live fringe!). And he need for an accessible visual arts event in Sydney but the 'what and where'.
In 1996 he walks along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk (thanks Marie- Violaine and Matthew recommend him). All around him he think that place have natural plinth after natural plinth where sculptures of all descriptions could be installed.
Fortunately for the exhibition, by now called Sculpture by the Sea, a number of key people fell for the idea and helped to make the exhibition a reality
In the exhibition's first year, 1997 That 25,000 people visited the 1997 exhibition, the quality of the show and the media interest gave the impetus required for the future development of Sculpture by the Sea.

(This sculpture is really amazing. How can he made 3 big object on one base, In Bondi beach always have strong wind So that very hard to make something very heavy on one thing by join just one link)
For 1998 the Sydney Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG) through the Artistic Director of "A Sea Change" Andrea Stretton, commissioned five Sculpture by the Sea exhibitions around Australia for the 1998 Olympic Arts Festival. This was a huge step up for us and one which artists really responded to with over 260 sculptures being installed among five locations around Australia (Darwin, Noosa, Albany, Bondi and the Tasman Peninsula).
From 1998 on the challenge of producing the exhibition was to attempt to stay in tune with the artists' and the public's expectations while growing our financial resources. To this end our major developments have been: (i) extending the exhibition over three weeks; (ii) significantly increasing the support we provide to the artists in the form of awards and in some cases subsidies, in 2007 this was over $300,000 (thank you to our sponsors and private donors); (iii) developing ties with overseas sculpture organizations that see two dozen overseas artists exhibiting every year; (iv) developing the exhibition's sales, which totalled over $1 million for the first time in 2007; (v) encouraging those artists who incorporate the sun, sea, wind and rain to continue working in this area by developing an Environmental Sculpture Prize; and (vi) developing our schools education program in which over 1,600 students participated in 2007.

(This event not only for show but it’s very big business. They not only show their art work but they sell that. And it isn’t for normal person because it’s really high cost. This one look like

In Bondi LOCATION OF THE COASTAL WALK
Sculpture by the Sea is staged along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk. The coastal walk begins at the bottom of Notts Avenue, which runs off Campbell Parade, Bondi. The coastal walk can also be accessed by stairs at various points along the exhibition route at Hunter Park, Gaerloch Avenue and Pacific Avenue. The exhibition finishes at Tamarama Park, Marine Drive, Tamarama.

(This exhibition for everyone. You can see the big art. Some art work easy to understand concept but some art work not for children because the very strange thinking and some art work you have to read the creator thinking you will understand that)

(I like this one. I think that not hard for make a model but this one made from wood it’s hard not same wax. So this one not have many detail but I like his hat I think very hard to do that because that very thin)
I think sculpture art, it look like 3d art and harder than 2d art because they have to delicately care every side of their art. One sculpture if we see not same side, that mean one sculpture give you more than one feeling. You can’t to use gaze or vertical & horizontal angle because you can’t to control the live view of audience. But you can make something for attraction the audience. It’s look like you can control audience focus. It’s very challenge for creator.
