Sculpture by the Sea in Perth has come around again, and we are lucky to be able to enjoy this favourite free to public arts event, with the organisers overcoming some challenging times to be able to launch this year.

It seems a while ago now that the creator of Sculpture by the Sea David Handley had a dream, and it was his dream that a free to the public community arts event be created for Sydneysiders. Handley was inspired by large community art events like ‘Opera in the Park’ and ‘Symphony Under the Stars’, and it was this desire that resulted in the first Sculpture by the Sea being held in Sydney in 1997.

From there, things got bigger, and the event spread to Perth, when the event was launched at Cottesloe Beach, a beautiful location, that we all know, love and enjoy. This year's event has attracted over 70 local, interstate and international artists, whose art works will be on display from the 7th March to the 24th March to create this beautiful sculpture park.

Candy Chambers has finally arrived in Perth for the 2014 Fringe Festival, after having wooed and won the crowds at popular festivals such as the Adelaide Feast and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Just fresh from performing her show in Sydney, audiences in Perth are lucky to have Candy perform as part of the Fringe Festival.

Director David Paul Jobling is the man behind the curtains - actually the man in the front row as he and Candy bounced off each other playfully during the show.
