Grainger Gallery

As Canberra bursts into colour for the annual Floriade FestivalGrainger Gallery presents Full Bloom, a vibrant art exhibition exploring the poetic intersection of floral beauty and science. 

Floriade, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest celebration of spring, transforms the capital into a floral wonderland. In harmony with this seasonal spectacle, Full Bloom brings the bloom indoors inviting audiences to experience flowers not only as symbols of natural beauty, but as complex biological systems and carriers of meaning.

Featuring a diverse group of contemporary artists, the exhibition features painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media.

This is a show for flower-lovers, science-enthusiasts, and curious minds alike, a sensory-rich companion to the bloom filled gardens of Floriade.

As petals open across the city, Full Bloom invites you to look deeper, think broader, and celebrate the incredible life systems that flourish around and within us.

Grainger Gallery

Grainger Gallery is an art gallery in the heart of Canberra’s revitalised Dairy Rd Precinct, Fyshwick.

Established by artist, Kacy Grainger and Richard Grainger as a space for experiencing art, the Grainger Gallery showcases a strong stable of nationally renowned artists as well as nurturing the talent of our emerging artists. Envisioned as a place of industry, character and positive creative energy, with a strong ethos to always act in our artists best interests, Grainger gallery aims to align our interests with those of our artists and to be artist led.

 As such, we believe the connection between patron and artist becomes an exchange of energy and we encourage the idea that it should be a highly personal experience. The artwork which we choose to bring into our homes can be much more than a decorative element. It can be meaningful to us and an expression of our identity. It should resonate with our experience of being human and enrich our lives. We want to foster the idea that collecting art is not just about ownership, but about backing the artists and makers which we as individuals believe in.

We can all be patrons.
