Panboola comes alive

Pambula Wetlands and Heritage Project, working in partnership with the Lonely Arts Club Pambula, is proud to present “Ephemeral” – a celebration of the Panboola landscape and the creativity it inspires. On Saturday April 17, Panboola will come alive. The community is invited to come between 9am and 2pm and wander the grounds of the wetlands and enjoy in-situ temporary sculptures, installations of art, craft demonstrations, acoustic music, wood-fi red pizzas and hot coffee and tea. “This year’s Ephemeral festival is bigger and better than ever before! It’s a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the environment and art,” Panboola project coordinator, Michelle Richmond said.

“We are hosting a range of workshops including botanical drawing, creative writing, textile art, lino block printing, post card creations, interactive installations and more.”

Gabbie Stroud, well known local teacher and writer, will present a unique and inspiring creative writing and literature workshop aimed at youth aged 10 years and over. Young writers can expect to spread their wings and take some risks with their writing. “We will be playing with words and ideas and having a ridiculous amount of fun,” Gabbie said. FLING Physical Theatre will be hosting a free community dance session and live musicians will entertain the crowds, featuring ‘Latvian Independence Day’ roaming free and unplugged. This project is supported by Regional Arts NSW and South East Arts.

“We are grateful for their support, without which we would not be able to provide the community with this golden opportunity,” Michelle Richmond said.

“Bring your picnic blanket and settle in for the day.” Ephemeral is being held at Panboola Wetlands in Pambula on Saturday April 17.
