Artists, nature lovers and curious locals are being invited to experience a new kind of creative immersion, with BigCi set to launch its new Creative Encounters program later this month. For the past 15 years, BigCi has hosted artists from around the world, providing rare opportunities for deep creative practice at the edge of wilderness. The centre is led by artist, curator and mentor Rae Bolotin, alongside Yuri Bolotin, a wilderness explorer, author and environmentalist. The new Creative Encounters initiative builds on this legacy, opening BigCi’s approach to creativity, nature and reflection to the wider community. To mark the launch of the program and gather community feedback, BigCi has heavily subsidised ticket prices for the day.
