History
The Sculpture on the Peninsula (previously known as Sculpture in the Garden) was the vision of the late Geoff Swinard. Geoff gathered a group of friends together with different talents who formed a committee and later the Lombardy Trust to run this event. The 2011 event will be the seventh. The Trust seeks to bring to the public an event that is representive of current art practice in New Zealand. This event would not be possible without the extended support and goodwill of the Sculptors, the Harbour Basin community and our friends. The generous time and efforts of our hosts at Loudon, Sarah Lovell-Smith and Phillip King and our sponsors- Harman Lawyers, Fox and Associates, Urology Associates, Montage Business Intelligence, Underground Coffee Company, The University Bookshop and Wilkie and Bruce Architects.
