【推荐1】Sand Safari Arts Festival 2020

Once upon a time, in the magical Surfers Paradise, 15 world-famous artists turned a famous beach into a wonderful place of large sculptures(雕塑). Running over 17 days from mid-February to early March, the Sand Safari Arts Festival (SSAF) now brings together art installations(现代雕塑装置), larger than life art pieces and sand sculptures.

In 2020, the main subject of the festival fairy-tale (童话) classics. Visitors can watch the sculptures take form between Friday, 14 February and Sunday, 16 February, with the SSAF Award presentation to take place at 5: 30 pm on 16 February. For the rest of the festival, the public can vote on the People’s Choice Award by making a gold coin donation, with the winner to be announced publicly on Saturday, 29 February.

The festival will provide a host of public art and entertainment in addition to the sand sculptures. American artists Joseph Burgess and Joshua Wilkinson will present“The Harps(竖琴) of the City”, eight giant harps hand-carved from wood, each with a different sound, while local artists Clayton Blake and Courtenay McCue will take over the beach with their sculptures inspired by sea animals.

During the festival people can go to the Artist Plaza, a centre where all kinds of artworks are shown and visitors can buy their favourite art pieces, and The Castle of Ever After, which offers readings, live music, games, and a chance for people to get their hands dirty and create their own sand art.

The festival will take place at Surfers Paradise beach and along Cavill Mall. After the festival, why not go to enjoy delicious food, check out the markets, play a round of mini golf or explore the unknown?

Young kids can't keep an adult's pace in a theme park.     5    .

“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four.” Tired kids make parents even more tired.
