Overview
What are you hopeful for?
Inspired by the Festival theme, artworks by child-artists from across Queensland will come together in a grand installation throughout the Cultural Precinct reflecting their hopes and dreams for the future.
Working with Australian visual artists, 10 schools will be crafting Trees of Hope out of hundreds of individual artworks by their students.
Festival visitors can also plant their hopes and be part of a large scale site installation.
Special resources are also available for schools to bring this inspiring activation into their classrooms in Term 1.
Tree of Hope is part of QPAC’s Out of the Box.
