Artists wanted

Healesville Community Garden is seeking expressions of interest from emerging and established artists to create works that celebrate life at the garden and in the natural environment.

The project aims to enhance people’s experience of the environment through art and story, enhance connection to people, place and cultures and increase the vibrancy of the garden and surrounding area.

The project is open to artists who have a connection to Healesville.

Four artists will be selected for this project. Artworks will be completed or installed on site in phases from February 2021 to November 2021.
