Introduction to the Brick Bay Sculpture Trail

The Glass House at Brick Bay acts as a gateway to the Sculpture Trail. It includes a resource centre where visitors can browse through art publications and the Brick Bay Sculpture archive at leisure. Brick Bay Wines are available to enjoy along with seasonal platters and refreshments.

The Brick Bay Sculpture Trust operates as a charitable trust, with surplus revenue made available to assist selected artists in meeting the considerable expense of building outdoor works.

Sculptures presented are new works selected by a curatorial panel and all works are for sale. Exhibits change regularly as sold works are replaced.

The Trail is open everyday from 10am to 5pm.

As an easy one-hour trip from Auckland City, Brick Bay Sculpture Trail is a must-see attraction in this rapidly growing Northland coastal destination, which already hosts the Matakana Village Farmers Market, many vineyard tasting facilities and several other art galleries and sculpture projects.
