Supported by FRRR Strengthening Rural Communities Grant  /  2025

The Blackwood Art & Ecology Club was formed in 2025 with the support of a FRRR grant. The group gathered once a month throughout 2025 in the forest hamlet of Blackwood with a program of visual art workshops for children, adults and families based around an ecological themes. The themes playfully explored facets of the local natural environment and cyclic systems of nature.

The club continues to foster local community connection, knowledge sharing and creativity with new projects, workshops and gatherings including the yearly costume making sessions in the lead up to the Blackwood Easter Carnival parade.
