TreeLine returns in 2012 with a lively focus on children. Through a range of creative activities TreeLine is a community green art event that will help children draw the connection between them as the earth's inhabitants and their impact on our planet.
TreeLine was born in 2010 from the desire to celebrate trees, their stories and their important place in our communities. Guided by local and visiting innovative artists, children will explore issues of climate change, population pressures and human impact. Together they will find ways to celebrate our relationship with trees, acknowledge the eco-services they provide and explore the sense of time and history trees create in the landscape.
Performances, workshops and education programs using a range of visual and media arts, theatre, dance, music and sculpture will run from the Caloundra Regional Gallery, Noosa Regional Gallery, Butter Factory Arts Centre, Cooroy, the Arts and Ecology Centre in the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanical Gardens, Tanawha, and various Sunshine Coast Libraries and Schools.
