The Port Community Arts Centre proudly presents a spectacular art installation of flora and fauna.

The Secret Night Garden will be open for photo opportunities on Sunday Oct 11, 18 and 25 from 11am - 3pm (Covid-19 rules apply). The gallery will also be illuminated on the evenings of Friday Oct 9, 16 and 23, and Saturday Oct 10, 17 and 24 and can be viewed through the windows of the @portcommunityarts Black Diamond Gallery, 66 Commercial Rd, Port Adelaide.

This unique installation has been created by utilising recyclable materials and many hours of voluntary work. The Port Community Arts Centre acknowledges the assistance of the community members who helped in this undertaking, as well as the support of @starfish_developments and @cityofpae through its Covid-19 Grants Program.

Our recent workshop, making components for our upcoming installation The Secret Night Garden was a success.

Many thanks to Erin, Julie, Jen and Claire for your organisation in facilitating these workshops with our members.

We'd also like to thank the Port Adelaide branch of @nationalstorageanz for their generous cardboard donation and @cityofpae for your grant contribution. This installation wouldn't be possible without your continuous support.

Stay tuned for the launch. Date TBA.

We were hoping to organise an exhibition in October if the restrictions allowed us to do so safely. At this moment in time we believe it would still be risky to do so.

Instead we have created an idea of an art installation in the Black Diamond Gallery titled 'The Secret Night Garden'.

The concept is to create a colourful installation on the walls of the Black Diamond Gallery. With Spring soon upon us and the community becoming Covid weary, we thought of this idea to create a large, colourful installation of flora and fauna to adorn the gallery walls.

We will be holding three creative Covid safe workshops in the Gallery to produce the pieces for the installation which (when brought together) will be suspended from the gallery hanging system to create an artwork to fill the entire space. The installation will then be illuminated at night so evening foot traffic will be able to view.
