#MYWILDART

Make your own ephemeral art! Enter the #MYWILDART Instagram contest by visiting one of our “creation stations,” located throughout our Garden and creating a one-of-a-kind work of art. Like a sandcastle by the sea, ephemeral art doesn’t last — so snap a photo of your creation to save the memory forever.  You can transform humble rocks, leaves,  sticks and more into awe-inspiring works of art and share them with your friends on Instagram!  Harness the power of self-expression and the healing, meditative benefits of spending time in nature, then share it with the world.

Wild Art Creation Stations — allow all visitors to become a part of the exhibition, providing an opportunity for everyone to explore their wild side.

More about the exhibition:
Wild Art: A Journey Off-Canvas features large-scale art installations made from materials found in the natural environment. Scattered throughout the Garden to prompt exploration and discovery, the multi-sensory experiences will spark new ways of interacting with the natural world and each other.
