The Southern Gold Coast is where you should go if you want a quiet and relaxing holiday. It extends from Palm Beach to the state’s border communities of Currumbin, Kirra, Snapper, and Coolangatta. It provides a far more tranquil existence than its neighbours to the north.

SWELL Sculpture Festival

At Queensland’s largest outdoor sculpture show along Currumbin Beach, nourish your soul. Yes, in this natural setting, the primary exhibition includes more than 70 unique, hand crafted, modern sculptures.

Additionally, the festival has pop-up exhibitions throughout the Gold Coast. Chevron Island has easterlySWELL, The Boatworks in Coomera experiences industrialSWELL, and Helensvale experiences northerlySWELL. There will also be more miniature sculptures at the SWELL Smalls Gallery on the beach and cultural programs at SWELL Fringe in Wallace Nicoll Park, Currumbin.

The festival runs from September 9 to 18. And there is a lot more to explore as there are a variety of distinctive experiences. Are you interested in guided twilight strolls across the beach? That would be a lovely experience, especially for art enthusiasts. You will join a tour led by guest curators where you learn about the sculptures and the creation process. Take part in imaginative discussions and savour the SWELL experience. Bookings are required.

There will also be live music, comedy shows and art performances. On September 9, see the comedy show Woke Advice with Mystic Moira and Poncho Orange. The inaugural comedy night of the SWELL Sculpture Festival features Mystic Moira and Poncho Orange, two of the Gold Coast’s most famous character comedians. Also, catch Velvet Pesu’s operatic performance of Being Sky Mountain at Currumbin Rock. Being Sky Mountain is centred on Velvet’s unique contralto voice and innate sense of spirit. Velvet is a voracious gatherer of natural and repurposed materials, and with her music and rhythm, she hopes to engage, transform, and question perceptions.

Why not participate in the SWELL Masterclasses if the exhibit inspires your creative side? All levels of sculpture and art enthusiasts are welcome to enrol in programs such as photography, weaving, sculpting and more taught by the most incredible artists, including:

Norton Fredricks (Retritus), Claudia De Salvo, Bella Cameron, Cam Crossley, Jo Norton, Monte Lupo, Carol McGregor, LexImagery, Kathy Mackey, Desert Rain-Magpie Collective, and Parthenopi.

There will also be artist talks next to the sculptures and artist-led workshops. Don’t miss these beautiful opportunities while on your holiday.
