Artisans in the Gardens Opening Night

Since launching in 2000 with just four exhibitors in one small room, the prestigious exhibition has evolved into a sophisticated showcase featuring more than 3,000 works across a wide range of mediums. These include sculpture, hand-blown glass, ceramics, photography, embroidery, weaving, textiles and jewellery.

At the Opening celebration, you will have the opportunity to mingle with the artists and exhibition curator, sip on a glass of wine, enjoy delicious canapés, and view the exquisite pieces before the general public in the beautiful surrounds of Lion Gate Lodge.

We encourage the sale of all artwork, as proceeds support both the talented artists and Foundation and Friends of the Botanic Gardens, the not-for-profit organisation that supports horticulture, conservation, scientific research and education programs within the Botanic Gardens.
