We pay our respects to the Dharawal people who are the traditional custodians of the land, whose deepening connection to culture and customs have cared for this country for over 60,000 years. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.

Dharawal land has always been recognised as a meeting place for people from other lands, and in this spirit we respectfully continue this tradition through the bringing together of our communities through arts and culture.

Always was and Always will be Aboriginal land.

Little Orange is a Campbelltown Arts Centre working studio for contemporary Western Sydney artists who identify with a disability. The studio has been running since 2014 and fosters high quality artistic practice through the provision of materials, mentorships, business training and access to industry professionals. Little Orange is coordinated by David Capra and co-facilitated by Julie Finch.

Little Orange artists have a broad range of practices spanning drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture and performance. The purpose of the studio is to provide a platform for establishing artists to develop and launch their career through opportunities within the C-A-C artistic program and community.

Some of the past achievements and projects by Little Orange artists include a large-scale mural at Apex Park by Jess Fesic, a floor mural at Ingleburn town square by Jessica Pound and a NAIDOC week mural at Macarthur Square by Sri Thulin. 2019 achievements include Little Orange Presents at Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, which saw Adam Jones perform in a tarot booth, Imogen Jade serve drinks at her Creamy Cocktail Bar and Joel Beers off rides on Tony’s Bus made of painted cardboard, installed over a real golf buggy. Little Orange set up their working studios at The 2019 Other Art Fair, speaking to visitors about their practice and hosted the birthday celebration of Campbelltown Art Centre’s 30th Anniversary exhibition We are all connected to Campbelltown (one way or another).  Kaldor Public Art Projects and Art Gallery NSW invited the  Studio to collaborate on the AGNSW Art After Hours ‘2019 International Day of People with Disability’ exhibition and a series of Love & Happiness Kaldor talks.
