In 2022 Ginninderry invited experienced visual artists to enliven the Ginninderry BBQ area , and to engage the community in this process. This May, Ginninderry will exhibit the evolution of this collaborative community project at the Link Artspace. The barbeque area at the Link Ginninderry is envisaged as a place for the community to gather and was originally built by Ginninderry SPARK participants in 2019. (SPARK is Ginninderry’s unique training and employment initiative) The designs by Al and Dinah have three parts that intersect and overlay each other. The project began with student workshops. With students they explored local flora and fauna native to the area of the Ginninderry. The students went on to draw and record these plants and creatures; and these drawings became the source of design and inspiration to be implemented into the area.
This is a fun opportunity for the young and young-at-heart to join Mimi in painting the bright mural on Pro Hart Avenue, so come and pick up a paintbrush and leave your mark on Ginninderry This will also be an opportunity to meet Ginninderry's new Community Development & Liaison Officer, Jessica Buckland.

Suburb design plays a crucial role in fostering the well-being and vibrancy of a community, be that the infrastructure that keeps it ticking behind the scenes to the amenity that makes living convenient. In this Workshop, we invite you to come together and explore the future Macnamara Estate Development Plan (i.e. subdivision), Ginninderry's first Local Centre, Infrastructure like the Strathnairn Water Utility and the possibilities for the Future Urban Area adjoining the future Strathnairn Primary School. The workshop format will be a brief Project Update before diving into the focus topics.

This exhibition arose from the successful MyGinninderry Photography Competition held during the September-October 2021 COVID-19 Lockdown in the ACT. Although we have not had a lockdown this year, we though a photography competition would be an exciting way for Jess Buckland to meet our amazing residents. The competition produced many beautiful photographs from the community and it was decided to bring some of the top entries to the public through this exhibition. The photos reveal a love for the landscape and community of Ginninderry. Through resident's eyes, we see what is valued in the places they live, work and play, most notably, an appreciation for the natural landscape around Ginninderry and the stunning sunsets over the Brindabella Mountain Ranges. Come into The Link and see the exhibition from 10 August to 17 September.
