Eilidh graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Art in 2023 at the Adelaide Central School of Art. Through her arts practice, she seeks to communicate experiences of women and AFAB persons in the medical field negotiating the heavy gender biases that exist in both the present and the past, with an emphasis on endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. She investigates this through mixed media works set to disrupt and affect the viewer with aggressively stitched textile works and paint that mimics flesh, menstrual blood and other bodily fluids. The use of strong imagery and connections to menstruation seeks to destroy the taboos associated with menstruation, a taboo that prevents and shames women with abnormal periods and other symptoms. Eilidh also works at the Art Gallery of South Australia as a Public Programs Facilitator.

Danny Jarratt is an emerging artist based in South Australia. His practice is project-based, with themes exploring escapism, video games as a cultural object, queerness and painting.

Danny's practice is both political and shaped by personal experience. As a queer child growing up in a heteronormative society, Danny always felt 'othered.' He dealt with this alienation by diving deep into the fantastical world of video games. His practices explore how video games can be read as a queer space, often existing outside heteronormativity with different laws and social norms.

Danny is a graduate of the University of South Australia with honours. A selection of his exhibitions include FELTspace, Adelaide; Collective Haunt, Adelaide; MOD, Adelaide; Praxis Artspace, Adelaide; Seventh Gallery, Melbourne; Metro Arts, Brisbane; Tuggeranong Arts Centre, Canberra; and MOM-us Experimental Center for the Arts, Greece. Danny has received grant funding from Helpmann Academy and ArtsSA.

Drawing inspiration from recollections of past experiences and documented material, South Australian-based painter Lee Coulthard delves into the interplay between reality, memory, and imagination. He uses controlled human-computer processes, intuition, colour, and repetitive action to create patterned paintings that evoke a distorted perceptual experience and a hazy sense of remembrance.

His interest in pursuing a career as an artist developed from a 20-year career in warehousing and logistics. Intrigued by the possibilities of creating an aesthetic using a human-computer data-driven process, he completed a Bachelor of Contemporary Art from the University of South Australia in 2023. Upon graduating, Lee was nominated for the University Graduate Creative Art Award and his paintings were selected for the Helpmann Academy Graduate exhibition. He has since been invited to exhibit in group exhibitions, completed private commissions, collaborated on paintings with other artists and been a finalist in art prizes. Lee is currently undertaking a studio program at Post Office Projects and volunteers his time teaching basic painting and photography as an alternative distraction for people dealing with mental health issues.

Lee has been a finalist in the Gallery M Art Prize and was awarded the Premier Art Prize at the invitational LoretoSpringArt exhibition in 2023. Most recently, he was the recipient of the Highly Commended Award of the 2024 Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize.
