A celebration of art and the environment on the birthday of one of South Australia’s most treasured artists.
Enjoy the tantalising tastes of local food producers under the towering Heysen gums. The sweet sounds of live musicians will delight you as you soak up the beauty of the environment that inspired a lifetime of art. Amongst the roses and the green glades of the Artist’s Garden peruse the products of local artisans and makers and explore our engaging program of talks on art, the environment, and Heysen history. You’ll have your own turn to unleash your inner artist at one of our ‘en plein air’ drawing sessions. Take the opportunity to become a founding member of our new Cedars Membership program being launched on this special day and as our gift to you, enjoy a special ‘Cedars’ experience’ of a Creative Workshop, a Champagne Curator’s tour, or a Guided Nature Walk.
