Newcastle在Scratchley展览中自由的户外雕塑的未来在供资失败、2025年的演出结束并威胁其回归后仍不确定。 The future of Newcastle’s free outdoor Sculptures at Scratchley exhibition is uncertain after funding failed, ending the 2025 show and threatening its return.

Scratchley雕塑业的未来是纽卡斯尔市的免费户外艺术展览,两年来吸引了超过50 000名游客,但是在Grahame Wilson创始人未能获得2026年商业利率赠款之后,其未来还不确定。 The future of Sculptures at Scratchley, a free outdoor art exhibition in Newcastle that drew over 50,000 visitors across two years, is uncertain after founder Grahame Wilson failed to secure a 2026 business rates grant. 2025年的节目因金融斗争而被取消, 尽管个人资金和志愿者努力以2024年的赤字20,000美元挽救了2024年的活动, 但项目的长期可行性仍令人怀疑。 The 2025 show was canceled due to financial struggles, and despite personal funding and volunteer efforts saving the 2024 event at a $20,000 deficit, the project’s long-term viability is in doubt. 在《海洋雕塑》的启发下,Wilson在理事会否决后独立启动了展览,展出大型艺术品,如Michael Greve的标志性漂浮木鲸“冲洗”,前市长Jeff McCloy获得了该作品。 Inspired by Sculptures by the Sea, Wilson launched the exhibition independently after a council rejection, featuring large artworks like the iconic driftwood whale "Bleaching" by Michael Greve, which was acquired by former mayor Jeff McCloy. 虽然这次活动强调公众参与、社区投票以及艺术作品是由当地企业和个人收集的,但持续的资金挑战可能结束系列活动。 While the event emphasized public access and community voting, and artworks were collected by local businesses and individuals, ongoing funding challenges may end the series. 威尔逊仍然对未来跨州机会持开放态度,但也承认展览可能不会回来。 Wilson remains open to future opportunities interstate but acknowledges the possibility that the exhibition may not return.
