TOORAK VILLAGE
SCULPTURE EXHIBITION
2008 EXHIBITION
The 2008 Toorak Village Festival of Sculpture took sculpture back into the shop windows of 60 Toorak businesses along with 8 large exterior sculptures bolted to the sidewalks of Toorak Road. To a crowd of many at the Tok H Shopping Centre, Ken Scarlett OAM officially opened the 2008 Sculpture Festival where he commented on how far the sculpture show had come since its inception in 2002, along with much praise for the artists and curator Malcolm Thomson.
