The 2025 Bowral Sculpture Prize was another successful and vibrant exhibition at The Bowral Art Gallery. It was sponsored for the second year by Allman Johnston + MHDP Architects. This year we had 74 entries with a number of entrants from out of the area and new to the BDAS. The judge for 2025 was Michael Snape. The exhibition was curated by Kim Shannon.

The annual sculpture prize exhibition is always an interesting and thought provoking exhibition.  It is a wonderful collection of work showcasing a wide variety of construction techniques using materials both new and found, refashioned into something special, all with a story to tell.

The WINNER for 2025 was Gary Christian with Sailing with Sirens
