We are excited to present the third iteration of CHARTS, the Community House Art Awards. We love having this exhibition in our galleries, and congratulate all of the artists involved.

The Community Housing Art Awards (CHARTS) were created to celebrate and showcase the creative diversity, depth and talent of tenants of community and social housing. This is the third CHARTS Awards event, the first was in 2021, and another event in 2023 held here at The Mill.

This year’s CHARTS has been a collaborative effort between Community Housing Industry Association SA and 9 Community Housing Providers: Access2Place, Believe Housing Australia, Common Equity Housing SA, Community Housing LTD, Junction Australia, Unity Housing Company, Uniting SA Housing, Westside Housing, YourPlace Housing.

Community Housing Providers are not-for-profit organisations who provide affordable, stable, secure, and safe housing to people living on low to moderate incomes, facing disadvantage and/or with specific needs.

CHARTS is an event that has been open to all tenants of these Community Housing Providers and incorporates four award categories, 2D/Painting/Drawing; 3D/Sculpture Art/Textiles/Craft; Photography/Digital; Poetry and Literature with 15 awards being given out including the People’s Choice Awards, Artist Living with A Disability and First Nations Artist.

We hope CHARTS helps tenants find a sense of belonging – we know art brings people together, and by displaying tenants’ artwork in this exhibition at The Mill, and by making it accessible to the public, we hope it inspires engagement and a feeling of belonging to the community.
