Lock in a visit to Sculptures in the Garden, 11–26 October 2025. As NSW’s largest annual outdoor art exhibition, it’s always a showstopper – and this year, a brand-new Small Sculptures prize is set to prove that big things really do come in small packages!
Louisa Lawson statue - the town’s first female statue #girlpower. Created by Mudgee sculptor Margot Stephens, the statue pays homage to Louisa Lawson - mother of poet Henry Lawson and renowned advocate for women’s rights. Have a look under Louisa’s skirt (we’re blushing already!) for a little Easter Egg left by the sculptor…
Jack Thompson - a kangaroo statue that’s not what it seems 😳 Based on the famous Cleo centrefold of Aussie actor Jack Thompson, this kangaroo takes relaxation, flex and bravado to a whole new level.
Cube Stack - a stack of blocks poised dangerously. No need to panic, this work isn’t going anywhere.
Mudgee Arts Precinct - Mudgee’s artistic home. Grab a coffee from the on-site cafe, wander through the latest exhibitions and keep an eye out for major international works set to grace the walls over the coming years. There’s always something for the kids to enjoy too!
Hands on Rock - Indigenous art with serious history. These stencils of hands were made by the Wiradjuri people - the traditional owners of the land where the Mudgee Region is located. Drive just past the entrance to the Drip Walk to get up close to some of Australia’s rich Aboriginal history.
Mural of Henry Lawson’s The Loaded Dog - created by local artist Sam Paine, this mural captures all the chaos, charm, and character of one of Australia’s most iconic tales. Dare you not to take a selfie!
Wayout Art Space - a Kandos must-do. Home to a range of diverse and experimental collections that celebrate urban, regional, interstate and First Nations’ artists.
