The significance of the Arts in Environmental Advocacy

Deciduous beech tree. 31.8 million years old. This tree changes colour to orange and red in Autumn.
A panel conversation: Art has long been a powerful catalyst for igniting public dialogue and inspiring community engagement on environmental issues. With the backdrop of Lynne Uptin's exhibition "The Ancients" as a catalyst, please join an outstanding panel of writers and visual artists whose work invites audiences to engage with issues not just intellectually but emotionally. Does their work help foster a deeper commitment to environmental responsibility? What are the issues being faced here, and what can we do to address them? Lynne Uptin: Internationally acclaimed botanical artist Philip Wolfhagen: Leading Australian contemporary painter Andrew Darby: Prize winning nature writer, author of "The Ancients: Discovering the world's oldest surviving trees in wild Tasmania" Tabatha Badger: MP, author and wilderness photographer Stay in touch or sign up for our mailing list to receive advance previews of our exhibitions: https://www.bettgallery.com.au/mailing-list/
