Arts in the Garden is an annual outdoor community event based on the North Shore. Taking place on May 25 & 26, 2024, the event is bringing visual artists, musicians, performers, and workshops to thirteen outdoor spaces across the North Shore. Arts in the Garden is an encounter of people and place, of creativity and of reflection; we invite you to join us in this special weekend of play, connection and delight.

Arts in the Garden celebrates the intersection between artistic practices and the natural world. Each year, musicians, visual artists and performers fill outdoor spaces with their imagination and creativity. Through play, creativity, learning, and engagement, the event invites community to reflect on their relationship to the land and to place, and hopes to inspire us to care for the natural world and for all those sharing the land with us.

Arts in the Garden 2024 locations can be explored through the map below. You can learn about the participating gardeners, artists, musicians and performers through the garden pages linked in the menu on the left side of this page. Our performance schedule can help you plan your visit.
