Accessible Arts focused on engaging children with disability at this year’s Sculpture by the Sea exhibition made possible through generous funding received from the St George Foundation and the Waverley Council.
Students from Wairoa School in Bondi also participated and returned to their art room to create their own works of art. Dominic Northey Sproule (pictured), a student and keen photographer, recorded the excursion on his camera for Wairoa.
