Exhibition | Ikebana display 2023 - Toowoomba Ikebana Group

FREE ADMISSION | GALLERY OPEN: Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am – 3.30pm | Closed Monday, Tuesday & Public Holidays
Open for Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 September

Ikebana, the traditional art of Japanese flower arrangement, draws attention to the beauty in nature. Refined over centuries, it uses materials not considered in Western flower arranging traditions, such as withered leaves, seed pods and branches. The sculptural displays celebrate artforms in nature through the creative use of asymmetry and negative space to emphasise shape, line, and form.

For over twenty years, Toowoomba Sogetsu School has presented an annual exhibition of their creations at Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery. With a focus on local and native materials, members Netta Obst, Margaret Eiser and Dorothy Herrmann create arrangements that respond to the season and environment, challenging themselves to combine new methods and materials to push the boundaries of the artform.

The Gallery is hosting a Twilight Tour in conjunction with the exhibition on Thursday 19 October at 5.30pm. Phone 131 872 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to book your place.

The Gallery is proud to showcase their work during the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers celebrations.

Exhibition on display 16 - 24 September
