PEARL BEACH ARBORETUM EPHEMERAL ART TRAIL Pearl Beach, 11 June – 17 July
Returning for a second year, the Pearl Beach Arboretum Ephemeral Art Trail combines nature and art in the most organic way. The five-hectare botanical garden – which comprises open forest, wetlands, pockets of temperate rainforest and is home to rare plants and hundreds of bird species – will become an open-air gallery with 20 temporary artworks and five community installations. The 2022 collection will follow the theme ‘Only One Earth’, to promote nature conservation. Visitors to the trail can vote for their favourite artwork, with a people’s choice prize being given as well as an official first prize. pearlbeacharboretum.org.au/ephemeral-art-trail
