Twenty-five Sunshine Coast artists are joining forces in an exhibition exploring how the community connects and cares for the environment.
Over the past six months, artists from across the Sunshine Coast — including woodworkers, sculptors, painters, printmakers, watercolourists, ceramicists, musicians, poets, and more — have engaged in a shared journey of cultural and environmental learning, collaboration, and exchange. Each artist brings their own story and creative lens to the theme, reflecting their unique connection to place through the works presented in this exhibition.
The exhibition will open with a twilight gathering on Saturday 1 November, 4:30–7:30 pm, at the Arts and Ecology Centre, Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden, Tanawha.
The evening will feature a Welcome to Country, live music, shared stories, local produce and refreshments, and the chance to meet the artists, all set against the stunning backdrop of the gardens at dusk.
Tickets are $10 plus a booking fee (free for children 10 years and under). Places are limited, all welcome.
Running from 1–16 November, Reflections will also feature a rich public program inviting visitors to connect more deeply with the artists and their work.
Take part in creative workshops such as Nature Journalling, Linocut Printmaking, and Butterfly Art, or join a curator talk on Home Art Curation — exploring how to get your artworks around the home right, and bring nature’s beauty back into your spaces.
Visitors can also hear the intimate stories behind the artworks through a series of artist talks held throughout the exhibition.
The exhibition is free to visit daily at the Arts and Ecology Centre, with workshops and events ticketed separately.
