9th - 24th November Small Art Treasures (SAT) in the Gardens is an annual outdoor small sculpture exhibition beginning in 2022 and taking place amongst the pathways and hidden spaces within the beautiful Colac Botanic Gardens
Over 35 artists and makers will be involved from the Colac Otway Region and from further afield. Each will handcraft an ‘Art Treasure’ in response to the garden and install it somewhere for the visitor to stumble upon.
Seek out all of the ‘Art Treasures’, a bit like a treasure hunt however instead of taking the treasure spend a little time immersing yourself in the joy of finding something unexpected, read about the maker and the work if you like or just sit and ponder for a while.
Where there is a white garden stake a Small Art Treasure will be close by, all the art treasures can be found in and around the paths within the numbered garden areas inside of the ring road/path.
Thanks to the wonderful staff at Colac Botanic Gardens for their support and great enthusiasm, thanks to ACCIONA for a small grant, thanks to Creative Otways and to all the amazing artists and makers participating in 2024
