Slow Art in an Instant - Pastel Artists of South Australia
On display 6 November - 7 December
In the age of instant everything …what do we learn from viewing art? A painting may have taken hours or days to complete. Art reveals itself both immediately and slowly, as viewers investigate the process that made the art and the narrative of the piece itself. In this exhibition, the viewers can immerse themselves in fast and slow pastel stories, created by members of the Pastel Artists of South Australia.

Hard Shadows
Rita Kellaway
Sun Room Studio | 29 September - 20 December
Within the City of Onkaparinga are many significant geological sites that show the ancient land formations of South Australia. Some sites date to the Neo-Proterozoic era (between 635 to 1000 million years ago).
Kellaway, an Adelaide-based artist with family links to the area, will use a series of local geological trail guides as a starting point to explore, capture (through 3D scanning, mould-making and casting) and then represent these rocks and formations in glass.
Rita will be organising Kym Dixon from the Field Geology Club of SA to give a short talk on the most interesting and significant geological rock formations in the Onkaparinga area- and there are many! To be held in early November- keep an eye out for the date. Also Rita is seeking photographs of local geological formations to be submitted with a view to including the most interesting ones in her exhibition in early December. If you are interested to know more about either of these opportunities call Rita on 0422. 446 989.

EXPRESSWAY ARTS
Carclew
Lockdown
THINK YOU KNOW THE TRUTH?
DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU STAND.
Hunter and Alex break into the school at night. The teachers all think they’re trouble makers anyway, so they might as well make it worthwhile, right? But Scribble and Z are also on their way, and Alana-Rey and JJ have destructive plans of their own. Paths cross, windows smash and friendships are tested.
Set just before lock-down due to a global pandemic, this play follows a group of teenagers who all surreptitiously choose the same night to prove friendships, enact revenge, and make sacrifices for the people they love.
What you think you know to be true depends significantly on where you’re standing.
An exploration of lived experiences, devised and performed by the ExpressWay Arts ensemble, a collection of young creatives from Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
