  • You can find HELD in The Mill’s Exhibition Spaces,
    located at 154 Angas St, Kaurna Yarta (Adelaide).

    Open Monday to Friday, 10am-4pm.


The Mill is pleased to host HELD, an exhibition of artworks by Youth Inc. students. Inspired by Maira Kalman’s book Women Holding Things, this exhibition features artworks and creative writing that explore the things we hold physically and metaphorically.

  • Holding a specific thing

    is a very nice thing to do.

    You are standing there

    and you hold

                     an enormous cabbage.

                      Or a violin.                  

                      Or a bright balloon.

    That is a job in and of itself.

    The simple act of doing one thing.

                                     —Maira Kalman, Women Holding Things

  • Youth Inc. is a new learning alternative designed for young people aged 17-24 who are looking for something different.

    Our School is specifically designed for young people who want to change their world, to dare to dream and discover who they are; their unique gifts, talents and strengths. To figure out what a meaningful, fulfilling and joyful life is to them.

    Youth Inc. is a vibrant, inclusive and affirming learning community that welcomes young people of all identities and lived experiences. We work hard to co-create a space where everyone belongs, where everyone in our  community feels seen, heard and valued for who they are and how they identify.

    Exploring and expressing who you are and/or who you want to be is our "pounding heart". We make space for you to explore your values, strengths, passions, experiences, so you can be your true and full self. 

  • Disability access is available via our Angas St entrance, access the pedestrian ramp on the corner of Gunson St to get to our front door, which will be open.

    The Mill has concrete flooring throughout with no internal steps and a disability toilet on site.
