Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast has become popularly known for its yearly held Sand Safari, a precinct of art inspired by the region’s sand and sea. Back this year, the Sand Safari promises to be bigger than ever before, thanks to the awesome teamwork among our friends from Streets Ice Cream.

For 24 days, Surfers Paradise will transform into an enchanted wonderland featuring sand and sea themed art with pop-up photographic galleries of works by professional and amateur photographers as well as school students who fancy photography. You can also catch a beautiful glimpse of enormous inflatable sculptures throughout Surfers Paradise by international artists such as Filth Luker & Pedro Estrellas, and edgy mural art by 40/40 Creative.

To make things more exciting especially for Kung Fu Panda fans out there, you can expect (Master) Po and the rest of his Dreamworks friends from Madagascar, Shrek, and more carved in large sand sculptures at the yearly Australian Sand Sculpting Championships along the foreshore and the Gold Coast Sand Trail. The championships will also challenge ten artists to carve sculptures of your favourite heroes in 10 tonnes of sand. Visitors can also check out awesome sculpture and photography exhibitions where you can have heaps of your photos taken at the display.

The Sand Safari events include: Sand Trail (5 to 28 February), National Sculpture Competition Exhibition (5 to 28 February), Live on-site Sculpting (6 to 11 February), National Art Competition (6 to 28 February), Photography Competition (6 to 28 February), Schools Art Competition (6 to 28 February), Australian Sand Sculpting Championships (12 to 28 February).
