SCULPTURE COLLECTION

The Toorak Village Sculpture Collection began in 2008 when the very first large street sculpture was purchased by the Toorak Village Traders Association Inc, that is now permanently on display for all to see. The committee of the Toorak Village Traders wanted to retain some of the sculptures so they can be viewed all year round, not just in May. It is also a unique statement for the Toorak Village shopping precinct – changing the retail streetscape in an artistic way. All sculptures in the Toorak Village Sculpture Collection are approved and supported by the City of Stonnington.
