Sculptures by the Bush

Sculptures by the Bush is a tourist trail of outdoor creative artworks that will dot the scenic landscapes around Blayney over the April School Holidays every year. Creative local residents, schools, businesses and community groups create sculptures in one of three categories: Hay Bale Art, Farm Art and Scarecrows. It is a great opportunity to enjoy the country landscape, visit some of the small villages and see some creative displays. Locals are called upon to get creative and build sculptures. A digital map and list of entries will be available on the Blayney Shire Council Website and Sculptures by the Bush Facebook Page closer to the event.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in Sculptures by the Bush 2025. Check out all the photos from 2025 on the Sculptures by the Bush Facebook page.

Sculptures by the Bush we will be back in April 2026, stay tuned for details!
