Sydney Children's Festival at CarriageWorks

Professional artists from Hotbed Designs have been working with students from 10 participating schools for a couple of months to create these larger-than-life sculptures that depict animals and plants of native Australia: from a sugar glider to a waratah, a swamp wallaby to a bottlebrush flower.

The students who have participated in creating this exhibition have developed a range of visual arts skills and learnt about ways that they can create biodiversity in their own backyards.

You don’t need to live in the bush to experience nature. The inter-schools sculpture program celebrates the artistic work of children and has generated cultural development and unity by working with a range of local schools on an artistic outcome that is more than the sum of its parts when brought together to form one exhibition.
