The launch of the Wildflowers sculpture installation created by local artist Laura Woodward will celebrate the artist and all project partners for their role in the commission. Mount Alexander Shire Council in partnership with Castlemaine Art Museum and Buda Historic Home and Garden has commissioned a public artwork in the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens. Titled Wildflowers, it celebrates seven trailblazing women who contributed widely to the region, including establishing the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Museum in 1913 (now the Castlemaine Art Museum), and who shared a love of local flora and fauna.
Further readings:
Reflections #26 Theobald on Miss Brotherton
Reflections #30 Zilles on Buda and CAM
Reflections #38 Pilgrim on the Leviny Women and Mrs Larritt
