The SALA Festival spotlights the incredible talents within ACH Group’s arts community. From seasoned artists to those just beginning their creative journeys, each work is a testament to the power of expression.

This festival also provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase the talents of ACH Group staff members - talents that often remain unseen in their daily interactions with colleagues, customers, and residents.

Meet two remarkable creatives who, in their free time, step away from their daily roles to channel their creativity into stunning masterpieces.

🌟 For Carolyn (Cally) Fenech, a Support Worker, creative expression is a way of life. She finds joy in repurposing and recycling, creating unique, practical items that can’t be found in mainstream shops.

Cally presented two artworks: ‘Hanging Basket by Cally’, featuring crocheted chains that are plaited together, and ‘Bag Me Cally’, a bag crafted from men’s ties.

🌟 Fay White, a Customer Support Officer, presented three large-scale quilts, all machine-pieced and quilted on a domestic sewing machine.

For Fay, quilting is both a relaxing activity and a means of self-expression, particularly when stitching the three layers of the quilt together. She shared that she often uses freehand motion to create her quilts, meaning she guides the design herself rather than relying on a pre-programmed pattern.

Her works included ‘Pickled Fish’, a large 186 x 188cm quilt, the memory quilt ‘My Sewing Journey’, and the geometrical ‘Next One’ quilt.

Cally and Fay, thank you for joining the SALA Festival and sharing your diverse passions with the community.
