From an online catalogue of works by 150 artists, more than $100,000 worth of sculptures was sold.
Festival director Susan-Leith Miller said the organisers were thrilled with the success of the online catalogue, which was launched on September 1 due to the cancellation of this year's festival.
"We were able to connect sculptors and sculpture lovers to sell over $100,000 worth of sculpture," she said.
"Local artist Amanda Lockton sold her beautiful entry Actinotus Helianthi, which was one of the largest sculptures sold.
"You may still be able to see Amanda's work at the GNTP before it travels to it's new home in Queensland."
The festival - which usually takes place across vineyards, galleries and public spaces - will mark its 20th anniversary in 2022.
"We are looking forward to seeing everyone in person for a huge celebration," Ms Leith-Miller said.
