Botanic By Night: NightGlow makes its Brisbane debut at Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha from 25 September to 10 October, transforming the Gardens into a magical after-dark outdoor art experience. Visitors will journey along an enchanting 800-metre route featuring 11 larger-than-life illuminated animal sculptures inspired by Queensland's native wildlife. Designed by Ample Projects in collaboration with First Nations artists Casey Coolwell-Fisher and Nathan Peckham, Botanic By Night: NightGlow combines art, storytelling and sound to celebrate the animals, habitats and stories that shape Queensland's natural environment. From kangaroos and koalas to platypus, dingoes and green tree frogs, each artwork offers a unique encounter, inviting visitors to wander, explore and connect with nature in a whole new way. Perfect for families, friends and date nights, Botanic By Night: NightGlow also features a dedicated food truck precinct.
