It's been five years since the country's largest sculpture exhibition has graced the slopes of Fort Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore. The event was a casualty of last-minute Covid cancellations back in 2021, with a giant pivot to an online offering.
For artists and would-be attendees it was a disappointment, but this year it's back to business as usual, with a record 130 artworks from 100 artists gracing the clifftop site.
Sculpture on Shore is the biggest private fundraiser for Women's Refuge - with the artworks auctioned to raise money for the organisation.
To date, more than $2.2 million has been donated. Joining Kathryn is Sally Dewar - NZ Sculpture on Shore Board Chair and one of the artists taking part, Virginia King.
