Noosa Regional Gallery is thrilled to be recognised by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation in the 2023 Noosa Biosphere Awards as a finalist for their art in nature event, ‘Floating Land: Us and Them.’
Nominated for the ‘People and Economy (Individual/Not-for-profit)’ category, alongside Noosa Environmental Education Hub (Noosa Youth Advocacy Group), Tourism Noosa (Tread Lightly), and Zero Emissions Noosa (Community Battery/EV Expo); Noosa Regional Gallery is excited to have been included within such a highly respected field of finalists.
Noosa Regional Gallery Director and Floating Land Curator Michael Brennan said, “Being recognised by being shortlisted for this award is a great compliment.”
“The gallery team is dedicated to the delivery of considered cultural experiences, and 2023’s Floating Land: Us and Them reflected this.”
Presented by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by Noosa Council in 2015 to progress the global aims of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve (the Noosa Shire), the Award celebrates the efforts of those working to address the impacts of climate change and build a smart, healthy, and prosperous future within our Noosa Biosphere Reserve.
“The Noosa Regional Gallery team continues to raise the bar with each iteration of our internationally respected art and environment event, ‘Floating Land’ as it reflects so much of what Noosa is about,” Mr Brennan said.
“This year, Floating Land audiences embarked on a journey that interwove art, nature, and the human condition. Floating Land: Us and Them provoked contemplation about alternative viewpoints and the experiences of others and prompted us to question our place in the world. Being recognised as a finalist for this Award is a great acknowledgment for the whole team.”
Celebrate the Finalists and Winners at the Awards ceremony on Thursday 30 Nov at Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club from 4pm. For tickets, please visit noosabiosphere.org.au/awards/
