Skywhales: Every Heart Sings – the Tamworth flight of Patricia Piccinini’s Skywhalepapa and Skywhale will take place on Saturday 6 May from 5:15am.
Skywhales: Every Heart Sings was a project originally created by Canberra-born artist Patricia Piccinini to mark Canberra’s centenary in 2023. Since then, the giant whale-like floating sculptures have generated interest and inspiration throughout their travels across the globe.
As artist Piccinini says, ‘For me, the place where I find wonder is in nature. The weather needs to be just right for the skywhales to fly, so when they do it is even more special.’
The Skywhales: Every Heart Sings Touring Event is subject to the weather and mother nature and changes may occur.
Skywhales: Every Heart Sings is a National Gallery Touring Event, the third instalment of The Balnaves Contemporary Series and a Know My Name project.
Gates open at 5am with inflation to start at 5:10am
