‘Marion’s Vision’ explores and celebrates the legacy of Marion Mahony Griffin, an influential figure in Australian architectural history.

As one of the first licensed female architects in the world, Mahony Griffin left a lasting impact on Canberra’s identity. Her innovative and forward-thinking approaches to urban planning and landscape architecture combined art, nature, and architecture into a harmonious environment, which remains an enduring feature of the city’s aesthetic and design.

‘Marion’s Vision’ showcases the work of Canberra Art Workshop (CAW) members inspired by a vision of Canberra that resonates with the legacy and lasting influence of Marion Mahony Griffin.
