THE ART OF TREES
A NATIONAL TREE DAY - FREE EVENT - SUNDAY 26 JULY 2026
THE ART OF TREES
The Picture House Gallery in Gunning will celebrate National Tree Day with an Open Day from 10am to 4pm. The aim is to encourage community to engage with the beauty and importance of trees through both art and hands-on creative experiences.
The Open Day will feature a special exhibition of tree-inspired artworks by acclaimed Australian artist Max Cullen. A curated selection of the works will be on display in the Main Gallery and prints of the works will be available for sale.
In the iconic art studio behind the Gallery, Creative Gunning and Gunning District Landcare will host a range of free children’s art and craft activities. Families are invited to participate in nature-based creativity inspired by Planet Ark’s National Tree Day resources.
Come and paint a leaf, make a fingerprint tree or a leaf rubbing, and produce a wonderful card incorporating your artwork to take away. The craft activities are suitable for ages 6 and above, places are limited and bookings are essential.
