The Brighton Jetty Classic Sculptures will be held in conjunction with the Brighton Jetty Classic Swims and Rowdown and will be situated at Esplanade Brighton, Bindarra Reserve and the new Brighton Surf Life Saving facility from Friday 1st of February to Sunday 3rd February, 2008. The event will have a community focus with significant media and coverage by Channel 7 and FIVEaa.
The inaugural Brighton Jetty Classic Sculptures was inspired by Brighton Surf Life Saving members after experiencing ‘Sculptures by the Sea’ at Cottesloe Beach, WA in 2007.
Our vision is to hold a major arts event in conjunction with the successful, annual ‘Brighton Jetty Classic Swim’. It is envisaged that the combination of both arts and sport will be a unique and successful community event.
