2017 marks the ninth instalment of Strand Ephemera, the North’s Sculpture Festival which is again supported by Glencore.
Staged over 10 amazing days and nights from Friday 28 July to Sunday 6 August 2017 this action-packed festival transforms Townsville’s iconic Strand into a 2.2km exhibition space featuring artworks, events, workshops and performances.
This year 31 artworks will be on display with 25 competitive and 6 commissioned artworks making up the exhibition. The commissioned artworks are an exciting addition to this year’s festival and are marked on the map in pink. Our 25 competitive artworks are marked on the map in black and will be vying for the $10,000 Award for Artistic Excellence. The competing artists are a mix of international, national and local artists presenting unique works which are sure to excite and delight.
