Entries are now open for our Annual Exhibition: 'See What I See: Exhibition Dates: Thursday 24 September – Sunday 18 October 2026 Presented by NatureArt Lab In celebration of National Biodiversity Month Exhibition Overview See What I See! invites artists, photographers and nature lovers to share their unique perspectives on the extraordinary biodiversity that surrounds us. Through art and photography, this community exhibition celebrates the beauty, diversity and wonder of Australia's living world. From iconic species to overlooked creatures, native plants, fungi, insects, birds, reptiles and landscapes, the exhibition encourages participants to look closely, observe deeply and share the stories of the natural world through creative expression. As biodiversity faces increasing pressures across Australia and globally, the exhibition seeks to foster curiosity, connection and care for nature. Every artwork becomes an act of noticing, and every act of noticing can inspire conservation. The exhibition will feature works by NatureArt Lab tutors, students and community members, showcasing diverse artistic styles, media and perspectives united by a shared appreciation for the richness of life on Earth. Visitors and exhibitors are invited to contribute a small artwork to our collaborative Biodiversity Wall. Together we will create a visual celebration of Australia's living richness through a collection of artworks representing native species from across the continent. Our goal is to create a wall featuring 100's of Australian species, highlighting both well-known and lesser-known organisms that contribute to healthy ecosystems.
