The Mill is thrilled to open our 2022 Visual Arts program with the CHARTS prize exhibition, a celebration of the inaugural Community Housing Arts Awards, South Australia. Created to celebrate and showcase the creative diversity, and depth of talent within tenants of community and social housing, the exhibition features painting, sculpture, photography, digital art and writing.
The CHARTS exhibition will feature a curated selection of work by finalists, on display to the public in The Mill’s two galleries. The prize received 170 submissions across eight Community Housing Providers, with artworks from established, mid-career and emerging artists, and those who have never picked up a paintbrush, pencil or camera in their life! The CHART awards night was held at Adelaide Town Hall on 11 November 2021, with each winner receiving a cash prize of $500 made possible by the generous donation from CHARTS major sponsors Harvey Norman Commercial and Electrolux.
Artists include Lily Abbott, Alissa, Rex Stuart Anderson, Leagh Bassham, Karen Beale, Sabrina Belfiore, Naomi Blake, Maxine Cannon, Annette Cassano, Annette Chand, Susan Cocks, Belinda Cole, Craig Finnis, Annie Fox, Lloyd Jackson, Caitlin Lenartowicz, Amanda MacLeod, Robert Martin, Chevon McKenzie, Amber Jayne Mills, Rosemary Milton, Anna Mohammadkarimi, Peter Pasfield, Jhalakman Rai, Elaine Roberts, Joy Sadauskas, Yonah Singira, Drew Sinton, Frankie Starling, Coral Strempel, Zachary Studley and Leonard Yarnold.

CHARTS is a joint project between seven different Community Housing Providers. It was established in 2020 to celebrate and showcase the art being made by tenants of community and social housing. CHARTS aims to provide opportunities for artists living in community housing to exhibit their work, build their skills and establish networks. It seeks to encourage them to keep making and to legitimise their practice, or be the point from which they launch their own art career. The works in this exhibition are all the finalists, as chosen by our independent panel of practicing artists who judged the CHARTS awards for us.
The Mill is supported by the South Australian government through Arts South Australia.
