As part of the prestigious Tarnanthi program at the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA), we`re proud to present Tjunguringanyi – Coming Together in collaboration with the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Art Centre Collective.
On display at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital (WCH) until 29 January 2026, this vibrant exhibition transforms the hospital into a space of cultural connection and storytelling, offering patients, families, and staff an inspiring and inclusive experience.
Tjunguringanyi showcases the talents of six First Nations women artists: Nyunmiti Burton, Yaritji Heffernan, Megan Lyons, Sandra Pumani, Margaret Richards, and Leshaye Swan. Through their paintings and ceramics, these women share their lived experiences, wisdom, and knowledge, exploring themes of wellness, family, and the importance of fostering strong, healthy communities.
The exhibition reflects the strength and unity of women supporting one another across generations and geographies, from remote communities to urban settings.

What a day! 🖤🤍 Derby Day at Arkhe was all about good food, great company and giving back.
From champagne and fashion that turned heads, to delicious food straight from the open fire pit, DJ tunes and sunshine, it was the perfect day to celebrate in style.
Guests took part in sweeps and raffles in support of the Foundation, helping make a difference for sick kids and families across SA.
A huge thank you to our generous supporters who kindly donated prizes and to everyone who joined us, what a great day🥂✨

The Good Home has sold for an incredible $973,000!
We’re so proud to be one of six South Australian charities supported through The Advertiser Foundation’s Kids Appeal who will share in the proceeds of this home.
For the WCH Foundation, this contribution will help around 160 families in our community who are experiencing financial hardship while their child is in hospital providing things like fuel, accommodation, and groceries when families need it most.
Our heartfelt thanks go to The Advertiser Foundation, Villawood, Weeks Homes, and all of the amazing suppliers and contractors who brought The Good Home to life. What an incredible community effort!
