Sculpture Slam

Join us on Wednesday 11 March at 6.00pm for our annual Sculpture Slam, an evening of lively talks and discussions with the Gilbert Bayes Award 2025 winners Amanda Cornish, Beverley Duckworth, Bo-Yi Wu, Emmanuel Awuni, Lucy Mulholland, Madeleine Ruggi,Regan Boyce, Salvatore Pione, Stephen Burke, and Yidan Kim.

The winners were selected by the artist members of the Society's Board of Trustees and guest judge Freeny Yianni curator and founder of CLOSE Gallery who is also curating the show. 

Freeny’s chosen theme is Terraforming Futures: Sculpture, sustainability, and the shifting balance of nature and will explore how sculptors engage with urgent ecological questions , from material reuse and up cycling to speculative visions of post-climate-change landscapes. The idea of terraforming reflects both the destructive reshaping of Earth through human activity and the possibility of artists re-imagining new, more balanced worlds.
