The exciting interface between art and botany provides the impetus for the Artist-in-residence program.
The appointed artist’s work has always been intimately associated with plants specific to the Gardens and in many instances, incorporates natural materials.
The Brisbane Botanic Gardens initiated an Artist-in-residence program in 1995 to enable a person from the broad areas of visual arts, literature or performing arts to work at the Gardens for a negotiated time frame of up to one year.
The program is designed to provide artists with an opportunity to stimulate interest and understanding of their particular art form as well as heighten appreciation of the natural environment.
