This year marks a special milestone as we celebrate 10 years of our Connected exhibitions, created in partnership with our friends at Nulsen Disability Services. Since the inaugural event in 2016, the All Saints’ College community has raised more than $30,000 to support Nulsen in their mission to empower people to live their best lives.

Our 2025 exhibition, Connected 10 – Lustre, invited students, the ASC community and Nulsen community to create artworks exploring themes of light, reflection and illumination. The result is a collection of artworks that highlight not only creativity and imagination, but also the values of connection and community that underpin this partnership.

We would like to recognise the students, staff and community members who contributed to this year’s Lustre Exhibition in support of Nulsen Disability Services. The exhibition showcased an impressive range of talent and dedication, and we are proud to celebrate the achievements of all artists.
