SYDNEY—Sculpture by the Sea was a little known event when visionary David Handley launched the exhibition at Sydney’s Bondi Beach 18 years ago. Now it is a three week event attracting around half a million visitors.

The largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world, Sculpture by the Sea features over 100 local and internationally recognised artists whose works are spread out over a spectacular 2 kilometre coastal walk between Bondi and Tamarama Beach.
