Discover the Sunshine Coast’s next Instagrammable art event

Experience the fascinating world of sculpture at the Creative Feast that is Sculpture on the Edge, returning to the iconic Flaxton Gardens from Saturday 28 November to Sunday 7 December 2025.

Now in its 16th year, this popular annual exhibition organised by Arts Connect Inc invites visitors to enjoy sculpture in a refreshingly different way beyond the walls of a traditional gallery. 

Whether you're an art lover or just art curious, flying solo or visiting with friends or family, Sculpture on the Edge is a fun and inspiring day out that might just change the way you see art.

Sculpture on the Edge Co-ordinator Deb Weaver said this year’s event features 182 works created by 95 artists who have been selected as finalists and showcases a rich mix of talent from emerging creatives to well-established sculptors.

“The lineup is always fresh and evolving, keeping visitors coming back year after year, Ms Weaver said. 

"Expect to see a wide variety of styles and materials including metal, stone, wood, recycled objects, and more, with all works available for purchase.

“We are really pleased to have 46 local Sunshine Coast artists featured in this year’s finalist list, including all our winners from last year and are excited to see that 38 sculptures are created with upcycling discarded materials.” 

Celebrating people and nature

Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said Flaxton Gardens, located within our Sunshine Coast Biosphere, was a stunning venue to experience Sculpture on the Edge.

Mayor Natoli said visitors could see remarkable works thoughtfully placed throughout the lush hinterland landscape and indoor galleries – each a true testament to contemporary creativity and imagination.

“This special cultural event reflects our Biosphere values: celebrating people and nature.

“It is a beautiful example of art meeting nature in a way that sparks creativity and connection, and just one of many reasons Sunshine Coast Council proudly supports this event through the Major Events Sponsorship Program.

“Visitors can pair their exhibition experience with a delightful breakfast or lunch at Flaxton Gardens, or venture further to explore nearby Montville, Maleny, Mapleton and beyond into our breathtaking hinterland and coastal regions.”
