Art in Bloom Raises Funds and Spirits in Powerful Community Event

Brookwater, QLD – 31 March 2026

Creative Hearts Co. has celebrated a successful Art in Bloom fundraising event, bringing together guests from the Greater Springfield community and beyond, for an evening of creativity, connection and purpose in support of the Mater Foundation. Guests were immersed in the Art in Bloom exhibition—an exploration of florals, growth and renewal—while connecting with artists, business owners and community members from near and far.

 Hosted in collaboration with Kalbar Sunflowers the event transformed the Brookwater art gallery into a vibrant space filled with flowers, conversation and community spirit.

The evening raised more than $5,600 for the Mater Foundation, contributing towards state-of-the-art equipment for cancer patients at Mater Hospital Springfield. Mater Foundation Relationship Manager, Margaret Wilson said the event “showcased the strength and generosity of our Greater Springfield community” and highlighted Creative Hearts Co.’s dedication to healing through art (both in their workshops and through this event) as “a powerful reminder of how creativity and community can come together to create impact.” 

 Kalbar Sunflowers owner, Jenny Jenner described the evening as “such a beautiful collaboration”, sharing that she loved seeing “our sunflowers come to life in such a creative way, all while raising funds for the Mater Hospital Springfield,” and valued the opportunity to connect with “so many inspiring women in business” in a space that celebrated creativity, community and giving back.

 Creative Hearts Co. Co-Founder Hue Kedge said the night reflected the power of alignment. “When the right people, businesses and causes align, the impact speaks for itself,” she said.

Co-Founder Sean Ferguson said the exhibition itself was a standout, featuring artists from across South East Queensland. “It’s been incredible to bring together such a diverse group of artists for Art in Bloom. Seeing the gallery come to life—and even more so, watching artworks find new homes on the night—was a really special moment for both the artists and our community.”

Co-Founder Marie Ferguson added that the energy in the room captured exactly what Creative Hearts Co. stands for. “Seeing the gallery filled with connection and creativity was incredibly rewarding—it’s what happens when you create a space where people feel welcome and inspired.”

Creative Hearts Co. extends its heartfelt thanks to P&L Accounting for the generous event sponsorship, Keirson Dewitt for sharing her cancer journey and Antoine Vidal from Radio Springfield City for facilitating the live auction, as well as all attendees, prize donors, and collaborators who made the evening possible. 

 The Art in Bloom exhibition remains open to the public until 24 April 2026 at Creative Hearts Co., 7006 Melaleuca Drive, Brookwater, QLD 4300.
