Flinders Ranges - A Brush With Art

05/09/2026

🎨 GOT YOUR ABWA PASSPORT? COLLECT STAMPS & WIN!

As you explore A Brush with Art 2026, don’t forget to pick up your ABWA Passport at your first participating venue.

Take it with you along the trail and ask each participating venue you visit to stamp it with the venue and date.

Your Passport is a fun record of your ABWA journey — but it is also incredibly important to us.

Every stamp helps ABWA understand where visitors are travelling, which towns they are discovering and how the event is helping bring people into our regional communities.

And there are some great prizes along the way! ✨

🎁 WEEKLY PASSPORT PRIZES – WIN $50

Each week during ABWA, one Passport holder will win a $50 prepaid Visa Card.

To enter the weekly draw, simply text:

📷 A photo of the back of your Passport (the stamps)
👤 Your first name
💬 A short comment about your ABWA experience that you’re happy for us to share online

to 0422 618 773.

We'll announce each week’s winner the following Monday.

🎁 FINAL PRIZE – WIN A $500 PREPAID VISA CARD

When you’ve finished your ABWA trail, you can enter the final $500 prepaid Visa Card prize draw.

Simply:

➡️ Leave your completed Passport at the last participating ABWA venue you visit

OR

➡️ Text a clear photo of the front and back of your Passport to 0422 618 773, together with your first name and the word FINISHED.

You don’t need to visit every ABWA destination — just enjoy creating your own trail and collect stamps wherever your journey takes you.

Every visit matters. Every stamp helps tell ABWA's story.

Your Passport helps us show how visitors move through the region, supporting artists, galleries, cafés, accommodation, shops, attractions, and local businesses along the way.

So grab your Passport, start collecting your stamps and see where the trail takes you.

🚗 Take the scenic route.
Stay – Relax – Explore.

Step into our gallery this weekend, where every artwork tells a story of family, memory and love.

Now showing at the Port Pirie Regional Art Gallery, Richard Lewer: Steve is a moving National Gallery Touring Exhibition by the winner of the 2026 Archibald Prize. Through animation, family footage and paintings on domestic tabletops, it explores one family's experience of dementia, memory, love and care.

For us, A Brush with Art is about so much more than hosting an exhibition.

It's about supporting regional South Australia, celebrating creativity, and giving people another reason to visit Peterborough.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing the stories behind our involvement in this year's Flinders Ranges – A Brush with Art program and inviting you to experience everything that makes Quentin Park Alpacas & Studio Gallery such a special place to visit.

At the heart of our program is Growing Together—a community artwork that won't be complete until the people who visit Quentin Park Alpacas & Studio Gallery become part of it. We'll be following its journey as it grows, one contribution at a time.

Along the way, we'll also introduce you to Wild Threads: Art, Land & Renewal, share moments from Little Makers, and take you behind the scenes of Stories Under the Stars.

Most importantly, we hope this campaign encourages you to spend a little more time exploring Peterborough and supporting the wonderful people, businesses and experiences that make our region so special.

Whether you're visiting for the art, the alpacas, the café, the farm shop, or simply a day out, we'd love to welcome you to Quentin Park Alpacas & Studio Gallery.

This is only the beginning of the story, and we can't wait to grow it together.
