Come Make a Secret Island

If you stumbled upon a secret island hidden far beyond the horizon, What would you name it?

Do you know, Australia has 8,222 islands, and many of them are still waiting for someone to discover their stories.

This school holiday, we invite primary and secondary students to dream up an island of their own—a place shaped by curiosity, adventure, and the magic of making.

Perhaps your island has a volcano, a coral reef, or a rocky cliff. I wonder what would live in there, and how did you discover it?

Join us for free holiday activities and create an island for our SALA exhibition 2027 at Light Square Gallery, led by artists Catherine Fitz‑Gerald and Sandhya Mulchandani.

Participants: Primary and secondary school students and their caregivers (adult supervision required).

Proudly supported by the city of Burnside.

Due to high demand, please contact us if you are no longer able to attend the event.

For those unable to attend this event, please join us on 23rd January for intergenerational making day at Nexus Art Gallery (families welcome).
