THE arts and sciences meet in Dancing with Bees, a groundbreaking artwork by Zanny Begg that invites viewers to reconsider our fragile ecosystem and notions of time though dance and the use of visually striking imagery of local bee species.

The work, a 24-hour film in a specially built clockface on the front of Orange Civic Centre, will be officially unveiled tonight in Orange.

There will be a talk at 5.30pm before the unveiling.

Local production company Little Image Co worked alongside the artist to make the film.

Orange Regional Gallery director Brad Hammond said it was "inspiring to see this dynamic, creative team in action as they captured the extraordinary footage of local and visiting dancers that will appear on the screens installed on the Civic building on Byng Street".

Join artist Zanny Begg and Peter Gillespie (curator, scientific collections, biosecurity collections, primary industries, Department of Regional NSW) for a discussion in the Gallery Theatre prior to the official launch of the project.

Also included will be a dance performance by Central West dancer Maddie Tratt, who features in the Dancing with Bees project.

Meanwhile, a previously neglected and unsafe laneway between the Orange Central Square car park and Summer Street gets its own public artwork with a new piece, Aperture, by Daniel Templeman, which will be lit up from tonight.

The laneway project is proudly funded by the NSW Government and Orange City Council.

Dancing with Bees was funded by Creative Australia and Create NSW. Additional funding came from a NSW Government Arts and Culture Infrastructure Grant.

Find both of these new works on the Public Art Map at Culture Maps Central NSW.
