Council's cultural precinct team leader Lauren Mackley said the broad but beautiful theme could encompass everything from birds and bees enjoying the nectar or paintings of blossoms to abstract weavings or sculptures representing the joys of spring.

"This year we have finally had some rain and it is wonderful to be enjoying a landscape that is coming alive to the spring," Ms Mackley said.

"Whatever it is you like to create, Spring into September is the opportunity to share your work. This exhibition is open to everyone, whatever your age or your choice of art or craft.

"We would like this to be a true celebration of the spring, and a great representation of our community."

There are also colouring-in sheets designed especially for particular age groups on the theme.
