The Grampians Wildlife Arts Festival is a workshop based event for natural history artists to experience and study Australia’s unique environment, its plants and inhabitants with unprecedented intimacy.

Based in Hall’s Gap, the festival offers 5 days of guided day and night tours of the spectacular arid mountain range that is the Grampians National Park. As well as workshops and lectures on various materials, styles and genres of wildlife art by internationally recognised prize winning artists. Also exclusive after-hours and behind-scenes access to Halls Gap Zoo and its exhibits.

Spring in Halls Gap is a time of orchids, fungi, acacias and a myriad other plants filling the air with sweet earthy perfume. Birds, returning to court and breed, fill the air with sound while all manner of small creatures can be seen or heard scurrying through the forest floor. There are even dragons here but they are shy and the kangaroos, wallabies, emus and possums are easier to find.

The combination of these elements is a priceless opportunity for serious wildlife and natural history artists to explore, study and record one of the world’s most beautiful natural environments and its unique treasures. Accommodation choices range from simply camping in the park to the boutique elegance of The Mountain Grand Hotel and everything in between.

The master art classes for the 2011 event will be conducted over 5 days by internationally acclaimed Australian wildlife Artist Ego Guiotto. This year we have also included 2  x 1 day Botanical Art workshops to be led by Ena Graham and also a unique opportunity
to ‘draw from life’ wildlife in the beautiful bush setting of the Halls Gap Zoo with Melbourne artist Linda Weil.

Opening night for the exhibition is September 1st commencing at 6.00pm. This will be a rare opportunity to view unique and masterful art by
local and interstate artists.

The festival culminates with the GWAS Exhibition to be held over 4 days in the Halls gap Community Hall.
