We are incredibly proud of receiving the highly commended for the Wildflowering on the Western Downs project and exhibition.
🌼🎉 Congratulations to Dogwood Crossing Miles, recognised as a Highly Commended recipient for Wildflowering on the Western Downs! 🌼🏆
This inspiring regional arts initiative celebrated the unique landscapes, wildflowers and natural beauty of the Western Downs while creating meaningful opportunities for artists and communities to connect with place.
Developed through a partnership between Dogwood Crossing, Western Downs Regional Council and the curators of Wildflowering by Design, the project supported regional artists through mentorships, artist retreats, workshops and community programs, fostering creativity, collaboration and professional development.
By bringing together art, environment and community, Wildflowering on the Western Downs demonstrated the power of regional arts initiatives to strengthen local identity, inspire new perspectives and celebrate the places we call home.
👏 Congratulations to Dogwood Crossing and to all the artists, partners and community members involved in this outstanding project and its well-deserved recognition. 🌼🌼🌼
