Environmental Art Project 2025 'Land for Wildlife'

While we can't turn back time, we have the power to restore forests, rejuvenate water sources, and heal the land. We are the generation that can forge a new relationship with nature.”
– World Environment Day

In 2025, students are encouraged to create an A4-sized artwork that reflects their creative solutions for restoring Land for Wildlife. This project provides students with an opportunity to delve into key environmental topics and share their ideas for cultivating thriving, local ecosystems. To support their learning, schools can access an Education Resource Pack, and benefit from school visits, as well as artist-led workshops. These resources are designed to inspire students to become the changemakers of tomorrow.All student submissions are showcased in an exhibition at the Midland Junction Arts Centre and shared online. Winning pieces are chosen for public display, in the Mundaring town centre.

Key Environmental Themes:
