Join ACF Eastern Sydney and all of our community at the opening of our Wild at Art Exhibition at the Bondi Pavilion.
Each year, ACF holds the Wild at Art threatened species art competition. It is Australia's biggest wildlife art competition for kids. Now it's time for ACF Eastern Sydney to showcase all the entries from our very own local kids, in addition to the winning national entries, at the Bondi Pavilion on the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd. Thanks to Waverley Council for providing this fabulous venue under their community grants program.
With over 2200 Australian plants, birds and animals threatened with extinction, our politicians need to know that our community loves nature and wants it protected, now. By joining us at our offical opening, you will be showing your support for nature protection and you will be amazed by the quality of the kids' artwork on display.
