You’re invited to ORTA.

A garden party, of sorts, on January 30, 2027, hosted at Heide Museum of Modern Art.

Where inanimate things tell stories, and movement leaves its trace in the grass. A place of fixed forms and flowing gestures; earthly delights scattered like breadcrumbs for wandering minds.

For the first time, Diega will fold across Heide Museum of Modern Art. Heide’s Sculpture Park honours stillness: objects that hold their ground. While Diega deals in movement: the art of bodies in motion.

Meander through six hectares of Heide’s beloved sculpture park where form brushes against motion, image melts into sound, and taste charts the contours of the terrain. ORTA is a day that weaves far flung pockets of Australia’s creative scene through a singular thread. Dispatches from places where we all belong.

Art therapy is almost in session. Press the button for ticket access. Full line-up listed below.

Artwork: Aeroplane Boy, painted by Mark Chu for Diega.

Heide Museum of Modern Art and Diega acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Owners of the land and waters on which the museum is located. We pay respect to their Elders past and present, and recognise the rich traditions and continuing creative cultures of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia.
