WELCOME TO SCULPTURE IN THE RAINFOREST.
 The Thursday Plantation East Coast Sculpture Show each year presents a fascinating survey of contemporary works. They join a growing permanent collection of award-winning sculptures by Australian artists from all over the East Coast of Australia, particularly show-casing the art of talented people from the Northern Rivers region.
Our gallery is 7 acres of botanical gardens with a magnificent rainforest grove at the heart of the exhibition area, at Thursday Plantation’s Ballina headquarters. Visitors are invited to take a walk through the Spirit of Australia tea tree maze and along the rainforest path: on the way the sculptures are revealed, carefully placed to best advantage among the greenery.
The Thursday Plantation East Coast Sculpture Show is now in its 12th year and has become a major fixture in the cultural calendar of NSW and south-eastern Queensland. It’s the largest contemporary outdoor sculpture show in regional Australia.
This Thursday Plantation project is creating an enduring public legacy of art in nature.
Over 40,000 visitors come to the Visitors’ Centre annually: the sculpture garden is open 7 days a week, 9am to 5pm, and the permanent collection can be seen all year round.
