Haiku is a form of short poetry with seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five. Traditionally the Haiku evokes images of the natural world.
The Mansfield Lantern Festival celebrates winter, community, family and fun. Our Haiku project adds a literary element.
We’ll print 14 Haiku on special non-slip vinyl and place them on footpaths on Erril Street, where the lantern festival is taking place.
Send your Haiku (as many as you like) to artscouncilmansfield@gmail.com
We’re holding two Haiku workshops

At this event three adult artists will unveil their finished portraits of Michele Padbury, Mansfield Citizen of the Year 2015. The winner will be judged by Shire Mayor, Paul Volkering on behalf of the Mansfield Shire Council, and Meredith Paez, curator at Benalla Gallery. Book for dinner and make a night of it!
Every two years, Arts Mansfield hosts this portrait exhibition that celebrates a member of our community with a portrait painted by a local artist.
The subject of the portrait is announced at ‘The Reveal’ in April. Three artists must then create a portrait of the subject, arranging sittings and working hard to create a work of art that brings out the essence of the subject.
Michele Padbury was announced as this year’s sitter at the Reveal which was held on 27 April. Since then, three local artists Pam Moore, Allan Jack and Kym Stubbs, have been creating portraits using different mediums and these will be judged by Benalla Art Gallery curator, Meridith Paez and Mansfield Shire Council Mayor, Paul Volkering.
At this event three adult artists will unveil their finished portraits of Michele Padbury, Mansfield Citizen of the Year 2015. The winner will be judged by Shire Mayor, Paul Volkering on behalf of the Mansfield Shire Council, and Meredith Paez, curator at Benalla Gallery.
