CREATIVE ARTS
Channel your love for the environment through art!
We have officially opened the invitation to children and schools, to respond to our Eye on Nature 2020 environmental theme through visual arts.
‘Adaptations in New Zealand – Thrive to Survive’,
‘Urutaunga ki Aotearoa – Tipu Matomato hei orapito’.
Every year we proudly present these artistic creations by kindergarten, primary and intermediate school children from South and East Auckland.
Schools are supported to learn in-depth on the theme and rewarded with a professional exhibition.
This year, the exhibition and judging will take place at Auckland Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre.
