Mildura Palimpsest is Australia’s foremost environmental arts festival. Inaugurated in 1998 Palimpsest continues the rich experimental tradition established by the Mildura Sculptural Triennials in the early 1970s. Palimpsest is currently a Biennial event, with a Symposium held in the intervening year between expositions. Palimpsest #7 was run in 2009 and included site specific artwork by more than 50 interstate and international artists. The symposium is held to broaden community engagement and encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue.
