Wellington Sculpture Trust

Wellington Waterfront Public Sculpture Walk

A 90minute guided walk around 10 public sculptures located along Wellington's waterfront.

Sue Elliott, former Chair of the Trust and longstanding trustee, will guide a walk from Parliament grounds (the former Radio New Zealand site on Bowen Street), along the waterfront and ending at Waitangi Park.

En route we will view ten Wellington Sculpture Trust works where Sue will speak to the nature of each work, its relation to its site, the artistic intent, and the commissioning process.

Health & Safety

A second trustee will accompany the Guide to assist in directing participants in a manner to avoid risk with traffic, other pedestrians and cyclists.

Please wear good walking shoes and dress for the weather. The tour may be cancelled in bad weather.

Wellington Sculpture Trust

In 1982 the Wellington Sculpture Trust was formed and so began 44 years of voluntary and dedicated work to provide innovative, contemporary public art for Wellington City. Since its inception the Trust has remained concerned with the larger issues surrounding public artworks and Wellington’s urban spaces and civic identity. The Trust has enriched Wellington through the commissioning and installation of 31 permanent site-specific works and 12 temporary works. This focus has been used to tell Wellington’s stories, celebrate and mark important people, places, and social and geographical histories. It has changed city spaces and contributed enormously to the place-making, vitality, and creativity of our capital.
