An art exhibition inspired by the Winton Wetlands restoration project, was held at the  Bainz Gallery, at Wangaratta Library, in August 2023. This exhibition, called Palimpsest, features the work of local artists Maggie Hollins, Victoria Cooper and Doug Spowart (featured in our photo above).

Their works hint at the multiple layers of activity and relationships that are imposed upon the landscape, producing a rich history of natural and human interaction and many levels of meaning.

Through walking, contemplation and reflection around Winton Wetlands, the artists involved in Palimpsest are seeking to contribute to dialogue about the different yet overlapping stories of the wetlands.
