Everything you need to know about Sculpted Sounds, Victoria’s new art and music festival

Next March, McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery breaks new ground with Sculpted Sounds, a bold new music festival where art, nature, and genre-defying sounds collide. On March 7, the Langwarrin cultural icon transforms for the day-long outdoor festival where indie rock meets world-class sculptures and native bushland.
