The Port Environment Centre are excited to be offering a series of community activities during the River Night Walk event by City of PAE.

The Centre will be open on Friday and Saturday evenings with a special exhibition of Proof of Life photography exhibition which showcases the vibrant nocturnal life living on the wharf and pylons of the Port River.

On Friday 14th we will be hosting other special activities:

Join PAAF artists to transform discarded materials into parts of a magical travelling sea garden by creating and stitching objects inspired by local underwater life. You will learn about local marine ecosystems and through reflection and conversation find inspiration to create your additions to the garden.

Led by Patricia Wozniak and Mawarini, the Travelling Sea Garden is a collaborative, community-driven art initiative inspired by the seaweeds, seagrasses, and underwater “gardens” of the Saint Vincent Gulf. Through hands-on workshops, participants from diverse community groups—including PAAF and Co-Art—will co-create a soft, tactile, and immersive reef installation.

And venture out onto the pontoons for a guided torchlight tour to catch a glimpse of the nocturnal underwater garden with Peter Hunt from the Malacological Society.

There are loads of other activities as part of the larger event, so come out and make a night of it!
