Sculpture at Bathers support and volunteering
Fremantle Ports is sponsoring a major installation artwork being created for Sculptures at Bathers 2020. Called Seawall Bunker, it's a giant sandbag structure on the beach that will make you think about climate change and the connection between Nyoongar people and the Arthur Head coastal area. On Day 4 of installation (Sunday 16 February), Fremantle Ports volunteers helped artist Bruce Abbott with his mammoth sculpture. Watch the video!
