Elements
Elements
An ephemeral sculpture exhibition set amongst the stunning backdrop of the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Gardens, Elements will take you on a tour of five contemporary artist’s explorations and interpretations of nature and place.
Running across the ten days of the festival, the magnificent Gardens will be transformed from a natural paradise to a contemporary outdoor gallery, exhibiting artworks and installations from leading local and national artists who have drawn inspiration from the elements; fire, earth, air, and water.
Complemented by a public program of curated artist workshops, tours and talks, locals and visitors alike will enjoy a unique sensory experience in a beautiful bush setting, while also having the opportunity to experience and learn new skills across a range of artistic disciplines.
