As the sun goes down, from Friday May 12 to Sunday May 21 Brisbane’s City Botanic Gardens will once again come alive for Botanica: Contemporary Art Outside. Now in its fifth year, this year’s edition of Botanica will feature a diverse selection of large-scale works ranging from sculpture and projections to augmented reality and interactive creations from leading national and international artists including Phoebe Paradise, Theatre of Thunder, Keemon Williams and Noa Haim.

The eye-catching artworks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this year’s event, which will also see the return of the extremely popular Night Explorer children’s tours and discovery trails, Afterdark Art Walks, as well as live performances taking place each night. Have your chance to get involved in the interactive artworks, while you feast on a variety of food-truck fare, and indulge in a tasty tipple from the outdoor bar quenching event-goers’ thirsts on evenings from 5:00–10:00 pm.

Head on over to the Brisbane City Council website for more information and to view the full program of events.

Botanica is presented by Brisbane City Council and produced by Museum of Brisbane.
