Gallery 1 & 2 | Rendezvous: Notes from the Botanic Gardens

Michael Desmond, Peta Jones, Bryn Desmond-Jones, Ossian Desmond-Jones

The Gardens is a meeting ground for plants and people, a place for discovery, reflection and celebration. Four artists, inspired by the botanical diversity of the Gardens, explore the rich architecture of forms, powerful symbolism and community memories found concentrated in this unique locale.

Gallery 3 | See What I See

NatureArt Lab

See What I See is the annual NatureArt Lab tutor exhibition, showcasing the creative work and immense talent of their teaching team. Discover how these incredible educators observe, engage with, and are inspired by nature—and perhaps, see the world a little differently yourself.

Exhibition runs from Friday 5 September - Sunday 28 September 2025.

Gallery opening times: Wednesday to Sunday, 12 – 5 pm

M16 Artspace operates on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. We honour and pay our respects to their traditional custodians. We acknowledge this land always was and always will be the country of Australia’s First Nations People. Sovereignty was never ceded.
