✨ YOU’RE OFFICIALLY INVITED ✨

After months of planning, creating, hanging and a whole lot of heart, COLLIDE 2026 is ready!

Join us as we celebrate the opening of this year’s community exhibition.

We’ll begin with a Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country, before moving into the Town Hall auditorium for the official opening, featuring performances, a short film and a warm welcome.

Then it’s time to explore.

Discover more than 200 artworks created by local creatives of all ages and experience levels. Some have taken inspiration from this year’s theme, Imagine Tomorrow, while others tell stories entirely their own.

Don’t forget to vote in our People’s Choice Awards and check out the exciting program of workshops and events running throughout the exhibition.

Tomorrow, it begins.

Yesterday we carefully moved every artwork to the Swan Hill Town Hall. Tomorrow, we start transforming the space into COLLIDE.

Months of planning have led to this week, and I can’t wait to see it all come together.

Please note: The Dandy Lion Studio will be closed on Tuesday while we’re installing and opening the exhibition.

If you’re in Swan Hill this week, we’d love to see you at COLLIDE. 💛

The first day of spring felt like the perfect excuse to freshen up the garden. 🌸

A little paint. A little sunshine. A little helper.

I’m not about to argue with free labour.

Here’s to longer days, more colour and making beautiful things.

Well… that happened 😅

September school holidays, Term 4 and COLLIDE have all decided to arrive at once… which also means Christmas is somehow just around the corner 😳

Shelley has been busy pulling together another Holiday Fun program (while I mostly contributed coffee, opinions and the occasional “yes, I love that!” 😄).

If you’re starting to think about the school holidays, head over to the website and have a browse. You’ll find something your little maker will love.

Oh… and we’re not quite finished yet. Keep an eye out for one more creative surprise. 😉

See you in the studio.

There’s something really satisfying about watching hundreds of moving pieces come together. ✨

P.S. Want to get paint on your own hands?

A birthday celebration with watercolour, handmade tote bags, and plenty of laughter.

I’d call that a pretty good weekend at The Dandy Lion Studio. 💛

Everyone is creative. Sometimes we need a place to remember.

Yesterday’s Posca Craft Club was a beautiful reminder of that.

A few hours. A handful of Posca pens. Good company. No pressure.

Creativity has a funny way of showing up when we make space for it.

That’s one of my favourite things to witness in the studio.

Sunday was Homemade Haus. And this is exactly why I love it. 🧡

A bunch of people bringing along something they’ve made, grown, cooked, preserved or created — then swapping, sharing, chatting and going home with something new.

No shopping list. No fancy setup. No need to be an expert.

Just good people, good stuff and the joy of making things ourselves.

Thank you to everyone who came along, brought something, swapped something or simply hung around for a chat. 🏡

Next Homemade Haus: Sunday 13 September.

Bring 5. Take 5. Come and see what the community has been making. 💛

Just two spots left for Wednesday’s Posca Craft Club. 💛

Two hours to play with colour, pattern and mark-making, experiment with Posca paint markers and see what happens.

No experience. No pressure to make a masterpiece. Just some good creative time.

Wednesday 12 August | 10am–12pm | $50

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is your nudge.
