April 27 | Nautilus Arts Centre | 8:15pm | Heralded as a “brilliant new landmark in Australian musicals” (The Australian), The Sunshine Club is written and directed by proud Noonuccal Nuugi man Wesley Enoch AM, an acclaimed creative force in Australian Theatre. This energetic and engaging musical play has a variety of music styles, with 28 songs composed by the esteemed John Rodgers. It tells the story of Frank Doyle, an Aboriginal serviceman who has come home from World War II to find that although the wider world may have changed, attitudes back home in Brisbane are just the same. Filled with a defiant energy and ambition for a better life, Frank starts The Sunshine Club, a place where black and white can meet and, most importantly, dance. Here he dreams of a future where he can dance in step with Rose, the girl next door, the girl of his dreams. The award-winning Sunshine Club is a thought provoking, vibrant and above all joyful night of theatre and music, featuring a talented cast of 10, including emerging and established First Nations artists, and a 5 piece live band. It is perfect for audiences seeking entertaining, socially relevant work, at a time of heightened social discourse on Indigenous Affairs. Please note a $2 Booking Fee

April 27 | Beer Garden Brewing | 8:30pm | $10-$20 First commissioned by the Denmark Festival of Voice, WA, Hum Of The Mettle is nine songs crafted around contemporary poetry. Featuring the words of five of Australia’s leading poets, it crosses through the urban and desert terrain of Australia with poems that speak of love and desolation, loss and memory, the resilience of country and the stories held within it. Created in collaboration with poets (Ali Cobby Eckermann, Maria Zajkowski, Kevin Brophy, Renee Pettitt-Schipp, Graham Kershaw) and Jen's stellar band (James Brown, Paul Angas, Sam Cagney, Mark Seddon) they form a dynamic range from epic 70’s rock soundscapes, sudden storms of explosive pop, driving indie folk-rock and whispering, sparse ballads that build to cathartic crescendos with storytelling always at the centre. "There is an intimacy here, a sharing of secrets.. brilliantly executed, thoroughly engaging, and utterly beautiful." Broadway World “An enchanting, otherworldly experience for listeners."

April 19 - 28 | Nautilus Arts Centre | Exhibition After the first iteration of Access2Arts’ The Exquisite Familiar collaborative art project, where artworks by eleven disabled artists were displayed at the Art Gallery of South Australia and MOD. Museum, Access2Arts are now bringing the project to the beautiful Eyre Peninsula. Seven disabled artists from around the region will be paid to take part in workshops in Port Lincoln and online, where they will create their very-own ‘Exquisite Familiar’ creatures. They will utilise the Exquisite Corpse-style art form to explore and illustrate the barriers associated with disability through the lens of familiars - uncanny creatures found throughout history in folklore who help and protect their owners. These imaginative artworks will then be displayed to the public in a consistently changing and interactive format in a fun digital art exhibition at SALT Festival.

April 19 - 28 | Nautius Arts Centre - Walter Nicholls Gallery SALT Festival 2024 Feature Exhibition, Impressions, where the artistic Journeys of Belle Stanley and Beth Hammond converge, inviting you to explore the boundless wonders of nature and the dynamic interplay of colour and memory. Beth’s work draws inspiration from diverse sources, from a landscape sketch in paint or pencil, the memory of being in the bush on a particular day or a roadtrip through the Australian landscape. Exploring a range of colour combinations and with different sizes and types of surfaces from acrylic perspex, canvas and board. Belle's creative process is inspired by her deep love of wandering around in nature, from the remote endless beaches around the EP to following kangaroo trails through the scrub, this is the beginning of the process for all her work. Belles work explores the different shapes and textures she finds in nature, and drawing from her knowledge of silversmithing techniques, she captures the essence and beauty of the EP in her work.
