TOXIC SURF - Oceanic Lantern Making Workshops

Join us at Good Bank Gallery to Connect and collaborate with artist Mark Timberlake, along with local artists from Community Contemporary Inc. and environmental stewards from The Wild South & Experiencing Marine Sanctuaries to make ocean-themed illuminated sculptures and lanterns for the TOXIC SURF Roving Community Art Oceanic Lantern Performance.

TOXIC SURF is a community-led movement that serves as a platform to illuminate the complexity and interconnectedness of our fragile ecosystems, urging a deeper understanding of the invisible threads that link land, water, fire and climate. Together, we tell the story of the harmful algal bloom Karenia Mikimotoi and its devastating impact on South Australia's Coast and community.

Everyone is welcome as every voice matters regardless of age, artistic skill and ability.
