Mark your calendars for the annual SWELL Sculpture Festival, now in its 22nd year, a free 10-day outdoor exhibition designed for everyone. Come and explore over 65 large-scale sculptures that transform beautiful Currumbin Beach into an expansive outdoor gallery, connecting people, art, and place.
Experience the unique narratives and stories brought to life by local, national, and international artists.

Enhance your experience by attending artist talks, twilight walks, sculptural workshops, and masterclasses, delving deeper into the creative process.
SWELL nurtures young talent through the SWELL Kids Elements program, encouraging the next generation of artists.
Don’t miss the SWELL Fringe Festival, offering a diverse array of activities from morning beach meditations and live music to workshops, artist panels, and pop-up exhibitions. There’s always something exciting happening at SWELL.
