We’re excited to announce that submissions are officially open for the 15th annual Sculptures in the Garden exhibition, taking place from 11–26 October 2025 in the stunning gardens of Rosby Wines, Mudgee.
Each year, Sculptures in the Garden brings together emerging and established artists from across Australia to exhibit their work in one of regional NSW’s most celebrated outdoor art events. With over $58,000 in prize money available in 2025—including three major acquisitive prizes—it’s a valuable opportunity to showcase your work, connect with collectors, and be part of a nationally recognised exhibition.
Last year’s event saw over 260 works exhibited, more than 4,000 visitors, and over half of the sculptures sold or commissioned. Whether you’re a first-time exhibitor or a seasoned participant, SIG offers a unique platform to share your creative vision with an engaged and enthusiastic audience.
