On the Wild Side is a group exhibition featuring 18 artists from YourDNA Creative Arts, an art school for neurodiverse adults and adults living with a disability.
The artists have researched flora and fauna found in Maroondah City to create a range of 2D and 3D artworks depicting the characteristics of local plants and animals. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, mosaics and sculptures highlighting the importance of Maroondah's rare and endangered vegetation and wildlife.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness of threatened species and allow seeing the local natural environment through the lens of neurodiverse artists and artists living with a disability.
About YourDNA Creative Arts
YourDNA Creative Arts, located in Croydon, runs a range of visual, digital and performing arts programs, including drama, film and television, animation, creative writing, photography, radio and Art Attack. Art Attack is a hands-on visual arts program that embraces and expands individual creativity, self-expression and learning.
