Birds in our Neighbourhood – from April 2026

As you make your way around the City of West Torrens, be sure to keep an eye out for the little pink roofed galleries - found in parks, along the river, near cafes and even in front of Hamra Library.

These Little Galleries have become a much loved part of the West Torrens landscape, exhibiting the works of talented artists themed around fascinating Westside Stories.

The latest Little Galleries exhibition is all about Birds in our Neighbourhood – each gallery exhibiting a collection of birds that have been seen locally to each gallery.  See if you can spot (or hear) some.

Little Galleries

Little Galleries are exactly what they claim to be.  A small space - 500 x 600mm gallery - for exhibitions of small art created by amazing artists. 

Check out the Little Galleries map to help you find all eight locations.

HINT: They're hard to miss with their bright pink roofs drawing your attention.

Please enjoy these beautiful diverse Westside Stories artworks in the Little Galleries exhibitions while exploring West Torrens.
