Our art classes are located in Canberra at M16 Artspace and Brisbane at the Queensland Museum plus online - and we have programs that can take you anywhere with our Australian and international immersive art nature tours. We believe that when people engage nature through art, it fosters a deep connection of custodianship to country and care for nature.
