Sydney's popular Sculpture by the Sea exhibition has been postponed with organisers concerned about a mass gathering of people ignoring social distancing. The 2km trail of art along Sydney's eastern beaches and clifftops has become an annual fixture attracting half a million people. 'Due to current public health orders limiting mass outdoor gatherings, our 2020 event will not be going ahead as planned,' director David Handley said. Both the council and Sculpture by the Sea must be satisfied they can safely run the event before submitting an exemption request to NSW Health. Its popularity led to the launch of the Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in Perth, which is held every March.
