City of Onkaparinga is inviting those who came to call Australia home through experiences of war, persecution, displacement, or internment to tell their story through art.

Tell your story or that of your family. 

Create your art at home, or limited places will be available for classes at Reynella Neighbourhood Centre in May.

To express interest in sharing your art piece or attending the classes, contact Mia Mandara on 0481 057 999 or email Mia.Mandara@onkaparinga.sa.gov.au
