Perth Sky Sculpture Park is rising in the Perth Hills. From Spring 2026, the hills begin to glow a little brighter.

Bringing a new open-air gallery to the forest within the City of Kalamunda at the Perth Observatory, Perth Sky will be a place where art meets the horizon, where sculpture stands peacefully among the trees, and where you can wander, pause and see the landscape in a new light.

Opening Spring 2026, Perth Sky will invite our local community to explore contemporary sculpture set against forested trails and endless skies. It will be a place to gather, to reflect, and to experience culture in the open air.

Follow along as we shape something truly special, right here on your doorstep. Where art meets nature and the cosmos.
