Mullumbimby Sculpture WalkPrint Page

The Mullumbimby Sculpture Walk is a celebration of the uniqueness and creativity of the community, hinterland and Brunswick River Valley.

The Mullumbimby Sculpture Walk (MSW) has been recognised as a potential site of expression for artists of the region. The idea was presented to the Mullumbimby Chamber of Commerce and was met with an immediate positive response. The gateway sculpture maquette, renamed Enter Here, was mooted as the start up sculpture and went on exhibition in the CUBE art display in the Council Chambers foyer. It then had exposure at the Mullumbimby market eliciting numerous letters of support before being presented to Council’s Public Art Assessment Panel (PAAP).

The approved plan allows for seven permanent and six temporary sites along the path, meaning that a permanent collection can be established over the years to come. Temporary works can be installed for periods of up to three months at a time.

The sculpture, Enter Here constructed from recycled power poles preserved by metal & concrete footings and paint, is intended to have broad appeal, especially with respect to the bright colouring (not finalised) and apparent random juxtapositioning of the poles. The intention is not to produce a work of meaning, rather a whimsical invitation to enter the walk. It is inevitable that later works on the Path will represent other aspects of our history and culture. Like most public art there will be discussion and debate and possibly the sculpture will acquire a popular name.
