Thank You to Our Sponsors
We are incredibly grateful to the generous businesses and individuals who make Sculpture on the Edge possible through their support.
We are thrilled to be supported by the Sunshine Coast Council as part of the encouragement of artistic endeavours in the region.
The Sunshine Coast – a place that is sunny by nature. With more than 100km of famous coastline wrapping around our lush hinterland hills and a beautiful UNESCO Biosphere Corridor to protect, our community is committed to living sustainably, celebrating all things local and sharing our picturesque landscapes and abundance of produce. Our landscape is as diverse as the experiences. You’ll find yourself barefoot on the beach one minute, unwinding on hinterland time at a luxe farm stay the next, before settling in for a leisurely lunch made with ingredients sourced just down the road. You’ll quickly see why we’re known as Queensland’s Sunshine Pantry!
This project is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
