The entries will be displayed on our website gallery and a selection will hang around the garden in December and January. In further Artists in the Garden news, co-director Tammy Mills-Thom told NOTA, “Our September 4 gathering will include a Draw Your Dad activity to celebrate Father’s Day. “Dad can sit and pose, or you can use your imagination, which could be fun,” said Tammy, laughing. Other inclusive art experiences are a free drawing workshop by Artist Bernadette Trela, an open artwork with the theme ‘I am My Dream’ and spoken word performances. “It really is a great way to experience art in the community.” Artists in the Garden is a free monthly art event held in the Coffs Harbour Botanic Garden on the first Sunday of every month. Its aim is to bring art to people and people to art. Join the Artists in the garden Facebook group to be kept up to date with the schedule of the next Sunday event. The program for 2022/2023 has been boosted by the provision of a grant from the City of Coffs Harbour to enable free public participation in open collaborative artworks, workshops and other art making experiences and events.
