Sculpture on the Scarp is an adventure filled with surprises and delights for all ages. This outdoor sculpture exhibition is an accessible and fun opportunity to experience art in a unique bushland setting. The Darlington Station Reserve comes alive with diverse artworks displayed along the trail, amongst the curated native understorey and suspended between the trees. Stroll along the old station platform from Glen Road to the main festival site to see sculpture crafted by some of Western Australia’s finest sculptors.
