Staged over nine fabulous days and nights from Saturday 17 July - Sunday 25 July 2021, Ephemera transforms The Strand into a 2km outdoor seaside sculptural exhibition for all to enjoy.

Showcasing 28 artworks by local and nationally-renowned artists, including 19 competitive sculptures, four sculptures by invited artists, two school projects, two projection artists and a chalk artist.

Congratulations to:

  • Torin Francis for winning the Award for Artistic Excellence for his piece Way.
  • Christopher Trotter for winning the Acquisitive Prize for his piece Foreigner.

Celebrating 20 years of sun, sand and art by downloading a copy of the exhibition map and taking a self-guided tour along the Strand.

The addition of the acquisitive prize is proudly supported by the Queensland Government.
