Treecreate Studio is a new gallery and co-design space in Yarun (Bribie Island).

Treecreate Studio is a place for collaboration and connection across disciplines and cultures. It provides a working space for research and creative work and a place to present and share work with Treecreate’s collaborators via online and in-person presentations and exhibitions. It is located in Bellara Arcade on Benabrow Ave behind the Bellara Newsagent.

Treecreate is a social enterprise focused on connecting the dots between art, science and cultural knowledge with a focus on ecosystem restoration and community engagement. Founded by Dr Tracey Benson, Treecreate has been actively co-creating symposia and events internationally for over 10 years and is now based on Bribie Island after first being established in Canberra.

In the spirit of collaboration, community and connection, the launch of the Treecreate Studio will include a smoking ceremony and acknowledgement of Country by the Pumicestone Indigenous Employment and Education Council (PIEEC) jarjums, a talk by Artist Trail coordinator Ange Venardos and some music by local artist and change leader Rebecca Thompson. Michelle Watson the Chair of PIEEC will MC the launch.

Following the launch of the studio, Treecreate Studio will host their first workshop Kinship Water, facilitated by Wiradjuri researcher, educator and artist Nola Turner-Jensen.
