Weeroona Park Sculpture Group

BY GABRIELLE TRABUCCO, RICHARD PFEIFFER & MAGGIE BROCKIE

The WEEROONA sculpture group celebrates the use of Weeroona Park as a meeting point for a diversity of community groups. These include youth week concerts, Apple and Grape Multicultural Festival, art events for all ages, indigenous activities including NAIDOC week, ‘Joyous Under Eights’ activities, band practice and performances. In view of the above,  WEEROONA is designed to evoke an appropriate complementary, celebratory/festive atmosphere consistent with the park’s use.
