Launch – Seaweed. A Celebration

Presented by Holdfast Limestone Coast Inc

Holdfast Limestone Coast Inc is proud to present 'Seaweed. A Celebration'. An exhibition exploring the theme of marine flora and fauna of the Limestone Coast region.

This event highlights the distinctive Limestone Coast region, famous for its dramatic limestone cliffs, vibrant turquoise and green seas, sea stacks, offshore reefs, and cool temperate climate and along with the nutrient-rich current of the Bonney Upwelling creating a unique environment where marine algae flourish.

Holdfast Limestone Coast Inc is a diverse, science-based organisation led by volunteers. While a scientific approach is central to its mission, the organisation embraces art and culture as vehicles to enhance public awareness about the significance of marine algae.

Now in its fourth year, the Holdfast exhibition has previously attracted numerous artists from across the region. The 2026 exhibition will take place at the Mount Gambier Airport Hangar Gallery, serving as the gateway to the Limestone Coast.

This year, for the first time, there will be a Viewers' Choice Award valued at $250.

Our guest from Deakin Seaweed, Dr. Alecia Bellgrove will launch HOLDFAST LIMESTONE COAST ID CARDS.

The Hangar Gallery will be opened by the Mayor of Grant District Council, Kylie Boston.

Seaweed. A Celebration has been funded by the District Council of Grant
