Intersection aims to strengthen professional arts practice with remote and regional creatives by celebrating the creativity in South Australia’s regions. This program is a foundation that grows and showcases regional creatives' valuable and dynamic experiences.

Guildhouse and Country Arts SA are hosting a community event at the Kangaroo Island Community Centre to celebrate, gather and share collectively.

This relaxed Community Event is a way for artists, arts-lovers and members of the community based on Kangaroo Island to come together, connect and network.

Come chat with the team from Guildhouse and Country Arts SA and celebrate the creativity of the region!

Providing space and a place for collective exchange; the event will feature an informal artist talk with local artist Janine Mackintosh, sharing her experience of working as a regional artist. Janine is an assemblage artist who uses collected materials to create highly detailed works referencing her local environment.

Come listen, connect and share with lived experiences, delicious light snacks and enjoying excellent company! A friendly event open to all people, practitioners and ages, we welcome you to join us.

If you haven’t connected with Guildhouse or Country Arts SA before, please join us, we look forward to connecting with you and learning about your practice.

ABOUT JANINE

Janine Mackintosh is a Kangaroo Island assemblage artist. Her art practice sprang from the study of the plants of her bush property. She creates windows on the natural world, which she hopes will ignite a sense of wonder, invite sustained contemplation and inspire conservation.
