Treasure House

Sculpture Walk

2025

Harvey Horswell designed and directed the Sculpture Walk at Treasure House fair 2025 and developed it into a multi-media experience for those new to collecting and for those who were already sculpture enthusiasts. We were the first to view a sculpture walk as a way to ignite visitors and operate a sculpture programme separately to the fair’s main programme with a fully developed digital experience, with dedicated tours, podcasts, children’s tours and digital media.

The Curator

Dr Melissa L Gustin is Curator of British Art at National Museums Liverpool, based at the Walker Art Gallery. She has taught at the Universities of York and Essex and held fellowships at the Henry Moore Institute and the Watts Gallery—Artists Village. Her current exhibition is on Turner.

The Podcast

The sculptors were interviewed by Harvey Horswell and form episodes of 30 minutes, exploring the creative journey of each artist. Dr. Melissa L. Gustin and Flo Horswell reflect on the impact of each piece and artist at the end of each episode. To listen click here.

The Resident Artist

Helena Traill is an international artist whose work transforms landscapes and scenery into sensory experiences, drawing viewers into immersive spaces of colour and contemplation. She created impressionist interpretations of each of the walk. To learn more visit our featured artist page.

The Young Collectors

Harvey Horswell ran an explorer’s walk around the sculptures, hunting for blocks to build your own sculpture and a self guided tour throughout the day. Our young pirates were also offered packs featuring all of the sculptures in the walk to encourage creativity beyond the fair.

The Visitors

With over 12,000 in-person visitors and 8,000 digital visits the walk was well attended. With dedicated tours daily reaching nearly 400 participants for an hour’s walk around the sculpture and strong sales and direct connections into the artist mailing lists.

The Works

The 27 works were from exhibitors and also from independent artist’s, external galleries and estates. Five of the works were created specially for the fair and shown for the first time, with artist studios based from USA to India and dates from 1709 to today, in 8 different mediums.
