The winning artworks of past Sculptures in the Garden, Mudgee exhibitions can be found nestled along the banks of the Cudgegong River in Mudgee. Like treasures to be found, 29 works have been placed along the Lawson Park Sculpture Garden Walk to be admired by passers-by. Beloved by locals and a drawcard for visitors, the creation and continued development of the sculpture walk is one of the main reasons why the SIG exhibition has continued to take place, now in its 13th year.

The brand-new Mudgee Arts Precinct opened to the public on Saturday, August 7.

The precinct is set to become the home of the arts for the Mid-Western region. It will offer a community workspace for artists with resources and facilities to foster art, creative and cultural education. In addition to a state-of-the-art, purpose-built gallery space to host exhibitions, these facilities will nurture the existing arts community in the Central West and encourage a new generation of emerging artists.

Any visitor who has ever been to Mudgee, and most definitely any local knows that the Lawson Park Sculpture Walk is one of the star attractions in this beautiful region that we’re so lucky to call home.

Lawson Park is a beautiful, tranquil and peaceful setting along the banks of the Cudgegong River that showcases winning artworks from the Sculptures in the Garden (SIG) annual exhibition.

The sculpture walk came to be after Sculptures in the Garden founder, Kay Norton-Knight, along with the exhibition committee, proposed the idea to the Mid-Western Regional Council (MWRC) who deemed it a worthy and important asset for the local community.
