In the middle of the Swan River, at the eastern gateway to the City of Perth, sits one of the little known jewels of Western Australia - Heirisson Island.
Heirisson Island Sculpture Park Inc has an outline curatorial policy for Heirisson Island that will focus on collecting pieces of the highest quality. A primary aim will be to bring together a unique collection of international sculptures that can be combined with the best work available from Australian artists to create a unique arts experience.
The Island will be divided into zones to suit a range of different sculptures. These zones will range from intimate spaces to large open areas that also take advantage of the panoramic views from Heirisson Island.
It is hoped that many artists will create pieces specifically for Heirisson Island and this will allow full advantage to be taken of the natural environment by incorporating land, shoreline and water locations
