April 18 - 27 | All Day | Nautilus Arts Centre | FREE Love Notes to the Laundromat is a celebration of the shared spaces that bring people together. Part creative response, part placemaking experiment, Love Notes to the Laundromat began as a collection of love notes written by local artist Eliza Wuttke to Third Places across Port Lincoln. A third place is a communal space outside of home and work or school where people spend time, common examples include places like the library, cafes and parks as well as more obscure spaces where people pass time, like the laundromat on a wet Sunday evening. Love Notes to the Laundromat was first shown at SALT Festival in 2024 before visiting Barmera for SALA Festival. What began as an experiment in place attachment has now grown into an ongoing project centered on celebrating connection, community and the places that we gather. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to pause, read the notes left by others and add their own love note to the slowly growing collection.

April 18 - 27 | All Day | Nautilus Arts Centre | FREE Red Brolly Studio presents an exhibition of varied scale and content. Large,ceramic sculptures explore the power of facial expression and unspoken communication. Paradoxically, at the same time they emit a calm silence. Fired in a gas kiln to 1300c with crackle and ash glazes. You can’t help wanting to feel them. At the other end of the spectrum various themes are pursued with oil on canvas. Quirky paintings, frivolously explore what are often the hard won lessons of our lives. It started with “The Rabbit of Truth”, and 20 paintings later finished with “Dare to be Playful”. Recently inspiration has come from Tumby Bay and the significance of its channel markers. These works certainly lean on the abstract side. My natural tendency is to ‘tidy things up’, but some of the artists I most admire, achieve engagement, boldness and messy all at the same time. Like my first foray into ceramic sculpture, I am finding it is not as easy as one would think Every painting is a teacher

April 26 | 7:15pm | Jump Ship Brewing | $15 Expect an evening of song and solidarity - Sea shanties aren't just songs their stories, chants and expressions of life at sea, sung to inspire courage and unity. From the bold lyrics to the rousing refrains, the songs capture the rhythm of the ocean, marking the work of pulling ropes, hoisting sails, heaving nets and braving the ocean. The shantyman is a singer with a passion for the sea, guiding us through the rollicking rhythms and lively choruses, keeping the energy high and the songs flowing! With each tune you'll discover the grit and grandeur that marked the lives of sailors and fishers, while tapping into a powerful sense of our community. Whether you're a seasoned singer or a curious newcomer you'll be warmly welcomed, as everyone joins together to share the joy of these traditional tunes. Singers of all abilities are encouraged to lend their voices, as group singing is at the heart of a shanty night and the stronger our collective voices, the more fun we will have!
