Carindale Connect and B4C (Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee) are teaming up to deliver an art show inspired by nature and sustainability on Saturday 21st February.
Both emerging and professional Brisbane artists are being invited to help raise awareness of theSustainability Centre at Carindale and the local environment. The exciting new art exhibition is also celebrating local art and community.
We’re looking forward to showing off the creative talent that exists locally and in greater Brisbane. With very little in the Carindale region in the way of art events, but some very accomplished local artists, we think this will be quite an exciting and important step to start developing the huge potential in the area.
Applications will be open soon. We will also be investigating other opportunities for local businesses to sponsor and support the event.
The main details for interested artists are as follows.
Art exhibition inspired by sustainability and the natural environment
The artworks are not required to represent just nature alone. They can portray the built environment and the human form too. Artists may choose to represent interaction – whether positive or negative – with the environment. The theme provides a huge range of possibilities.
Potential subjects within the theme include:
- Landscapes, seascapes
- Flora and fauna
- Gardening, plants, seeds
- Growing food, permaculture
- Nature / wildlife
- Conservation, eco rehabilitation
- Sustainability, waste
