HIDDEN Rookwood Sculptures is a free community event that is run with the support of our valued partners and sponsors.

HIDDEN is an annual event that brings thousands of Sydneysiders out to celebrate art and imagination with reflection and remembrance in historic Rookwood. Through our broadcast of the event through traditional and digital media, our expected reach is over 40,000 people.

This year, we are partnering with Cumberland Council and Friends of Rookwood. We are currently looking to further develop and extend our event, in order to support the local community and start healthy and informed conversations around celebrating and memorialising life.

To do this, we need support in the form of both monetary and in-kind donations. If you and your organisation are interested in supporting us, contact hidden@mmplm.com.au. We have several sponsor packages available, but will happily work with you to tailor one to the needs of your business.
