Our friends at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney have an exciting exhibition launching this March, 2023.
Conservation of threatened species is critical to the long-term environmental health of our country. On the Edge: Species at Risk is an art exhibition that will examine and challenge our relationship with flora and fauna and accompanying events will take us on a deep dive around the topic. Exhibited work includes paintings, drawings, prints, together with some sculpture, ceramics, mosaics and textiles. All work will be for sale and funds raised go back into the Gardens and their vital work through the Foundation & Friends.
Launch Event 6pm - 8pm, March 17, Lion Gate Lodge
The Hon. Tanya Plibersek, Minister for the Environment and Water and Sydney MP, will be opening the exhibition with Her Excellency the Hon. Margaret Beazley AC KC and Director and CE Denise Ora also attending.
