March to May 2010

A celebration of trees and their stories, TreeLine is a feast for the senses! With an extensive program of visual and new media arts, theatre, dance, music, sculpture and storytelling, this is a visual arts festival like no other. With overwhelming community support, TreeLine has attracted the involvement of many community groups and individuals, to deliver one of the most ambitious green art projects seen in Australia. Initiated by the Sunshine Coast Council , TreeLine was born from the desire to not only celebrate trees and the impact they have on an individual or community but to provide an opportunity to take action and deliver a message for the environment through art making.
