Wonderful Wattles exhibition launches

Weddin Landcare have launched their Wonderful Wattles exhibition on Friday, 25 July with a with a great turnout of local artists and community members.

The exhibition celebrates the colour, vibrancy, diversity and important ecological value that wattles add to local landscapes and will have an array of artworks, sculptures, ceramics, and memorabilia on display.

Weddin Landcare's Claire Diprose said the launch was wonderful and amazing to see so many people from the community interested and engaged about the exhibition.

With artwork sourced from around 30 artists from the region and further afield including the Rose Street Gallery, Ms Diprose said there were no two artworks the same, despite the subject matter being the same.

Ms Diprose said the people who helped run the event were very talented and helped the exhibition launch come together amazingly.

The Wonderful Wattles Exhibition will be open to the public until Wednesday 3 September at the Grenfell Art Gallery, 88 Main Street, Grenfell.

During the exhibition, on Friday 22 August, Weddin Landcare will also be launching their wattle field guide and self-drive wattle trails with a lunch and bus trip.

The Weddin Wattles – a local guide and the Weddin Self-Drive Wattle Trails is a Weddin Landcare project 12 months in the making which will highlight wattle communities along our roadsides and public areas and acknowledge the importance of wattles in our natural environment and farming landscapes.
