Sculpture@Nyerimilang is an outdoor exhibition on the East Gippsland Lakes between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance, Victoria.
The Exhibition had its inaugural staging in April 2006 and has been acknowledged by artists and patrons as a significant exhibition in the coastal stretch of Gippsland. Sponsorship for prizes was rasied from local public and private donors and the event is managed in total by a dedicated crew of volunteers from The Friends of Nyerimilang and ArtsNet East Gippsland. S@N is held in the gardens of the Historic Homestead of the Nyerimilang Heritage Park.
The Exhibition began with a shared vision between the Friends of Nyerimilang Heritage Park, Parks Victoria and ArtsNet East Gippsland. In less than six months the partnership developed and promoted the exhibition nationally. The response from sculptors was overwhelming, given an exhibition of this kind had never been organised in the greater Gippsland region. The exhibition reflects the works of established and emerging sculptors from the local region, rich With local and sea-change artists and from all Australian states. Sculpture@Nyerimilang 2006 saw 23 works and visitors in excess of 2400.
The winning work Light as Breeze III, by Hendrick Forster (left) was purchased for its public collection by the Sale Regional Gallery. The Emerging Artist Award was presented to Elizabeth Blackmore and the People's Choice to Doug Hadaway.
Another work was commisioned for an East Gippsland luxury hotel complex and the exhibition saw many individual sales of works.
