What a weekend for Dungog! From 29–31 August, the Dungog Common wasn’t just a backdrop – it became the beating heart of Sculpture on the Farm 2025. Around 3,000 visitors came to walk among the sculptures, but what made the event truly shine was the spirit of this community.
To the local organisations and businesses who gave their support in so many ways, the Dungog Performing Artists, and our tireless volunteers who showed up with good humour (even in 80kph winds!) – you are the soul of Sculpture on the Farm. Thank you for your warmth, generosity, and for making every visitor feel at home.
To our sponsors and benefactors – your faith in Dungog, and in the power of art to connect people, makes everything we do possible. Sculpture on the Farm could not exist without your generous financial contributions, which allow us to welcome artists, install works, create lasting legacies at the Common, and open the experience to thousands of visitors.
We are especially grateful for the support from Dungog Shire Council this year, whose belief in the value of arts and culture helps make this event a reality. Your support doesn’t just fund an event – it strengthens the cultural life of our community for years to come.
The Dungog Common proved once again that it’s a place where big skies and big ideas belong. Sculpture on the Farm is proud to be part of the growing legacy of public art, with permanent works that will continue to enrich the community for future generations.
And a wonderful result for our artists: nearly half of the 115 exhibiting sculptors sold a work. That’s a win for creativity, for collectors, and for Dungog itself.
From all of us – thank you, Dungog. This is your festival as much as ours. 💛
Your Sculpture on the Farm Committee, Philippa Graham, Phil Napier, Leanne Napier, John Graham, Chris Wokes, Cathy Schneider and Melanie Collingwood-Boots.
