'Wild at Art Showcase' by Australian Conservation Foundation Community Boroondara – online exhibition

The ‘Wild at Art Showcase’ celebrates the incredible artistic talent of children from the Boroondara area while highlighting their passion for protecting Australia’s threatened species. 

Presented by the Australian Conservation Foundation Community Boroondara, this exhibition features artworks created by local participants in ‘Wild at Art’, Australia’s largest wildlife art competition for kids. Each piece is accompanied by a written explanation, offering insight into the depth of concern and care these young artists have for vanishing wildlife. Through their artwork, children feel empowered, raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity and conservation efforts. 

The ‘Wild at Art Showcase’ encourages the community to reflect on the future of Australia’s unique flora and fauna while celebrating the creativity and environmental awareness of Boroondara’s young people.
