Outdoor sculptures back in our neighbourhood

Starting this week and running for 12 days, the Esplanade at Brighton is transformed into an outdoor gallery, playing host to an array of sculptures – of all shapes, sizes, forms and colours.

These include lots of larger-than-life birds - including an emu with feathers made out of cutlery - a soulful saxophone player, a dragonfly with colourful wings and an eye-catching sculpture titled Mango Man plus many more.

The Brighton Jetty Sculptures event also takes over Bindarra Reserve - with more than 100 sculptures inside the marquee and also on exhibit inside the Brighton Surf Life Saving Club, from Wednesday 18 January 2023.

There are more than 50 outdoor installations along the popular sculptures’ walk along the Esplanade, and all sculptures will be for sale with proceeds supporting the Brighton Surf Life Saving Club.

The annual event is South Australia’s biggest sculpture exhibition and has been running since 2008, when just 34 sculptures were on display.

The 2023 Brighton Jetty Sculptures event finishes on 29 January.
