AND IT’S HERE!!

Tonight we kick off the 2026 Straddie Arts Trail with our opening celebration QUAMPI Arts & Culture Centre and rooftop screening of Subdivision. We’re celebrating five years!

Five years of creativity, stories, making and connection.

A huge thank you to our island community, our incredible artists and makers, and especially our volunteers who continue to step up and make it happen.

Five years doesn’t just happen.

It happens because of community.

Together, we have built strong foundations grounded in community, creativity and care.

Now we look to the next five years and all that might be possible.

Welcome to the 2026 Straddie Arts Trail! 🎨

Let’s celebrate what we’ve created together.

FINAL DAYS // Discover a whole new approach to photography at Wayne Budge and Julie Sisco's photography exhibition "Everyday Abstractions". This exhibition is a celebration of the beauty found in the unexpected, encouraging us all to look beyond the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary potential of our everyday environments. Employing a technique called Intentional Camera Movement, both artists create abstract, dynamic images that blend motion and light.

This exhibition closes on Saturday 23 May

We’ll be the first to admit it’s been a little quiet around here lately 🌞
But behind the scenes has been a different story 💗 Our hearts have been poured into building our physical space on Minjerribah, and bringing to life, from the studio itself to the website build.
This beautiful sunset was captured during those early, golden, dreamscape days of the studio taking form. Behind the lens, the incredibly talented and treasured ,
and gracing us with her magnetic warmth, the wonderful Jade wearing our treasured Cleo mini 🫶🏼

This afternoon I sat down and scheduled a whole week of content. There is so much beauty to share – images of our incredible community wearing Alémais. We adore every photo you send us, and knowing that the Conscious Curations collection brings happiness, comfort and luxury to your special occasions means everything to us 🌺
With so much love xx
