Perpetual Guardian Sculpture on the Gulf 2027

26 February – 29 March 2027 

Perpetual Guardian Sculpture on the Gulf returns to Waiheke Island from 26 February – 29 March 2027 . This world-renowned outdoor sculpture exhibition has been a unique contribution to the cultural life of Aotearoa since 2003 and will continue the conversation between sculpture and site through multiple works. Explore a 2-kilometre exhibition on the Matiatia Coastal Walkway encountering ambitious sculptures against a backdrop of expansive vistas of the Hauraki Gulf.

Waiheke is a 40-minute ferry trip from Auckland. It has vineyards, world-class hospitality, pristine beaches, and scenery that feeds the soul. Book ahead to eat, play and stay on this island paradise over a few days.

Walk, connect, and reflect. Create new memories and embrace the experience.
