SHAC is a diverse group of artists who all live in Soldiers Hill. They are focused on maintaining a sustainable framework for art projects within Soldiers Hill and creating a suburb that is both externally and internally identified as a place where creativity is valued and promoted as a community virtue.

‘Soldiers Hill contains a vibrant group of artists who are producing exciting and high quality work. The Art Walk allows them to share it and show it in their neighbourhood.’

– Cliff Adeney, Chair SHAC

All works of art are for sale directly from the artist.
