Bonsai Reshaped - The Art of Bonsai
The Art of Bonsai (previously Bonsai After Dark) is a relaxed social event celebrating nature, art and all things bonsai.
Never been before? Get up close to live demonstrations by our visiting artists. This year we welcome four internationally recognised female artists, Caroline Scott, Heike van Gunst, Marcela Ferreira and Sandra Grlica to the stage to share their expertise and enthusiasm. Each with their own area of speciality, they will talk us through the transformation and highlight the themes of this years Bonsai Reshaped 'Women in Bonsai' whilst working on a bonsai live throughout the course of the evening.
Enjoy a drink on arrival and canapes throughout the evening and connect with the bonsai community and experts from around the country to share ideas and form valuable friendships.
Special announcements on the night include winners of the Bonsai Pot Acquisition Prize and the Joe Mifsud Bonsai Volunteer of the Year Award.
The National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia feature some of the finest miniature trees and forests in the world and features many native trees. At The Art of Bonsai you are invited for a rare private viewing of the acclaimed Collection under lights with the opportunity to meet the Curators, volunteers and contributing artists.
No bonsai event is complete without live and silent auctions, giving you the opportunity to take home a little (or a lot of) inspiration.
