Currumbin Beach, on the southern section of the Gold Coast, is paradise rediscovered. Pristine beaches, friendly locals, iconic Elephant Rock Lookout and, best of all, once a year it showcases world-class sculpture in abundance.

​

SWELL Sculpture Festival is Queensland's largest annual outdoor sculpture festival, celebrating 20 years of connecting people, art and place in September 2022. SWELL is a festival of experiences, a sensory symphony where the natural landscape of Currumbin Beach is transformed into a stunning sculpture gallery for all to enjoy.

​

Inviting engagement with public street art through sculpture, performance and conversations. SWELL is for everyone!

​

SWELL Sculpture Festival showcases over 70 large-scale sculptures along Currumbin Beach and over 50 smaller-scale works of art in SWELL Smalls Gallery and vibrant performing arts programming created by nationally and internationally renowned artists.

​

Many artists contribute each year to making SWELL a success. In 2022 those artists included one featured on this page: Alejandro Propato. It is his 'Permanent Sunrise' piece that is the main image (taken by Embellysh).
