Thirty multi-disciplinary observances reflect upon loss and time; how it fractures, folds, and heals, broadening our kinship with the landscapes and each other.

Water People is a group exhibition with Fleurieu-based established, mid-emerging and emerging artists. We are honoured to be hosting the work of Interstate special guest artists and ocean activists Timothy Johnston and Valerie Taylor. Immerse yourselves and dive deep into the waters of our abundant coastlines reflected through multi-medium creativity.

Mistletoe Block Project is a group exhibition inspired by a shared sense of place, highlighting the beauty of Mistletoe Block in the context of the greater Fleurieu Peninsula through multi-mediums such as photography, visual art and sculpture. Mistletoe Block is nestled between farmland and remnant bush and, consequently, is subject to massive environmental issues regarding biodiversity loss from overgrazing and weed infestations. There will be a focus on the conservation work that has taken place, which was funded in 2020 and 2021 by Nature Foundation.

Every year on June 20 – United Nations World Refugee Day – the world celebrates the courage, resilience, strength and contributions of people of refugee background. This exhibition celebrates multiculturalism, human rights, cultural diversity, anti-racism and the welcoming of refugees into Australia, as well as how refugees become part of, and contribute towards, the Australian “family”.

Modern Beach Homes 1950-70 aims to offer insight into a particular arena of post-war architectural modernism in South Australia: the single-family domestic beach house, artistically furnished and thoughtfully attuned to existing site conditions and natural and scenic surroundings.

The theme informs a collection of their recent work on canvas and board, along with installations involving tactile elements. These installations will engage and educate about coastal and land care, which includes children and families producing their own visual work at the exhibition.

All credible science points to our coasts being devastated by climate change. Coastal and tidal zones are beautiful yet harsh environments, however climate change will most likely push these environments to collapse, replaced by "dead" zones of exposed rocks, surging wave abrasiveness, and tidal rubbish zones of destroyed human debris. This exhibition is a cataloguing of beautiful Carrickalinga North Beach before climate change irrevocably destroys the region. Large highly detailed multi panel drawings by Leith Semmens using quill pen applied inks, graphite and colour pencils.

Emiko Artemis is a contemporary visual artist working across media with a focus on performance and photo media. Emiko's exhibition explores her current focus on language and gender and her installation seeks to invite viewers to inhabit a world of her own making. In her installation, "Return Home, Womyn and Womb", Emiko invites us to question what home is, how do women navigate our world and what role does the concept of womb have in today's contemporary life. Can the womb be a metaphorical space that we can return to, heal, and emerge anew?
