Banksia Awards 2011

A custom performance piece saw internationally renowned pianist and composer Dr Allan Zavod collaborate with multi-award winning artist Dr Charles Billich to create a painting made especially to raise funds for the foundation.

Together they designed 'Inside the Masterminds' a creative collaboration which saw Zavod play his original piece 'Flying Willow' whilst Billich painted the final strokes on 'eco-topia', a 2mt x 2mt painting specifically created for the Banksia Environmental Foundation. Together they demonstrated the power art holds in expressing emotions and telling a story. 'eco-topia' is now on a national tour to raise awareness for the awards program.
