Welcome to NatureArt Lab

Our creative community focuses on our extraordinary natural world. Through art and photography our goal is to promote engagement with nature enabling a better understanding of our precious environment and the value of biodiversity.  NatureArt Lab offers unique online and face-to-face art courses for adults and children - as well as national and international nature tours - all inspired by nature.

We have a fully equipped space for art, science and nature studies, with professional tutors and natural history resources to guide your creative learning.

NatureArt Lab membership is available and includes access to our natural history collection and microscopes, as well as discounts off courses and art supplies at participating art stores.

Our programs actively contribute to environmental education through many community arts initiatives, exhibitions and publishing projects.
