Design Wilds + Flower Shelter exhibition opening

‘Design Wilds’ celebrates the wildflowers and plants of our wild places with a suite of pattern designs and works created by 20 different artist/designers from across the region and beyond.

The exhibition also features the first iteration of Fiona Harding's 'Flower Shelter', an immersive installation featuring over 5000 flowers, all hand-crafted from reclaimed fabrics.

Free but donation of $5-10 towards food and drinks would be much appreciated.

(This event will occur within and outside of the Arts & Ecology Centre, Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens, Palm Creek Rd, Tanawha.

Please note that it may be dark when you leave the event so you might need a torch when walking back to your car. The gates will be locked at 8.00 pm)
