Past Festivals
Dating back to 2003, this fortnightly festival has a new theme each year, where all sorts of related art and cultural activities are created by local children and adults alike. Exhibitions, competitions, workshops and events all culminate in a fortnight of fun for everyone!
2024
Treasure
We had fun with this one! Treasure hunts, metal detecting, painted parrots, gold coins, pirates, treasured memories, and things we treasure .........
2023
Heroes
We found out that heroes come in all shapes and sizes, so we made the most of super heroes, dressing up as heroes, thanking our local heroes, getting creative with heroic shields.........
2022
Journeys
We travelled far and wide with our journeys of discovery, personal journeys, trails, maps, signposts and suitcases!

Wild II
Having been 'locked down' the previous year, we had another go at this WILD theme! Somehow, the freedom to be out and about made us all the more determined to embrace this great theme.
2020
Wild
For the first time, we extended our fortnight and went online. Socially distanced studios were some of the great ideas that allowed everyone to display their wonderful works of art.

Origins
In the town where Darwin was born, Origins was a wonderful theme to get creative with.

Air
Oxygen and air pollution were just two of the creative ideas that came out of the theme this year.

Home
'Home is where the heart is' and our community really showed us how much home meant to them this year, from bedrooms to sheds!

Space
This wonderful collage just summed up the variety of art and imagination we witnessed for the theme of Space.

Poetry and art really evoked a whole range of emotions from happiness to sadness and everything inbetween.
