This is a biennial prize.
Since its inception in 2003, the McClelland Sculpture Survey and McClelland Award has emerged as the most important biennial outdoor sculpture exhibition in Australia. This is one of the richest sculpture awards in Australia displaying a wide range of works in different media and styles by both established and emerging artists.
Sculptors nationally and internationally are eligible to enter the McClelland Sculpture Survey, an exhibition highlighting the diversity and invention of contemporary sculptural practice.
The 30+ sculptors will be selected to participate in the McClelland Sculpture Survey.
Displayed throughout 16 hectares of bush and landscaped gardens, the McClelland Sculpture Survey gives sculptors the opportunity to present their works in an outdoor exhibition context.
Sponsored by the Elisabeth Murdoch Sculpture Foundation, the McClelland Survey & Award are part of the continuing development of the Gallery and Sculpture Park's national profile.
McClelland Gallery+Sculpture Park is a Regional Gallery of Victoria set in 16 hectares of landscaped bushland in the Frankston precinct on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in the 1970s the Sculpture Park now has over 50 major outdoor works on permanent display.
