Artisans in the Gardens
Every day, 10am to 4pm Saturday 25 October to Sunday 2 November
Experience Australia's finest established and emerging artists and craftspeople, with over 2,000 works on display, including sculpture, ceramics, hand-blown glass, jewellery, and textiles.
Since its inception in 2000 with just four exhibitors in a small room, this prestigious exhibition has grown into a sophisticated event, now showcasing a diverse range of over 3,000 pieces across multiple mediums. For the first time, Artisans in the Gardens will span across two venues, Lion Gate Lodge and Victoria Lodge in the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The Food with Friends Cafe, run by volunteers from the Foundation & Friends, will be open daily from 10am to 3pm throughout the exhibition.
Artisans in the Gardens is dedicated to supporting talented artists while raising essential funds for the Foundation & Friends of the Botanic Gardens.
20% of the income that Foundation & Friends make from Artisans in the Gardens goes towards supporting the Education Access Program run by Botanic Gardens of Sydney. This program gives eligible schools the opportunity to participate in educational excursions to the three Botanic Gardens - for free!
