The City of Playford is excited to present this year's Celebration of Ability - The Art of Us, an inspiring community event bringing people together to celebrate inclusivity and how art helps us to express ourselves and connect with others.
The much-anticipated event will be held on Friday, 28 November 2025 at the Playford Civic Centre. This year's theme, The Art of Us, celebrates the many ways people can express who they are and, what makes them feel included and valued.
Each year, Celebration of Ability strengthens connection and inclusion by highlighting the incredible contributions of people living with disability across our community.
The event will showcase creative expression through art, performance and storytelling, with a focus on identity, belonging and shared stories.
Mayor Glenn Docherty said the event is a chance to recognise the creativity, resilience and contribution of people living with disability in Playford.
"The City of Playford is proud to support this important event - celebrating and supporting opportunities where everyone can shine is essential to building a stronger, more connected community," Mayor Docherty said.
"Inclusion is built through every connection we make, and this event creates a space for those connections to grow. It reflects our long-term commitment to supporting and uplifting people living with disability."
Art has the power to bring people together and provide expression to experiences that cannot always be captured. This year, the event introduces a community art competition and an opportunity for attendees to take part in the creation of a collaborative art piece on the night.
Amateur artists with disability are invited to submit artworks that represent their story, community or what inclusion means to them at Awards and recognition · City of Playford. Selected artworks will be on display at the event.
Another feature on the night will be Mayor Docherty presenting certificates to this year's International Day of People with Disability - Mayoral Award recipients to acknowledge their fantastic contribution to our community.
These awards recognise individuals, businesses and organisations that champion inclusion and accessibility in our community. Nominations for the awards are still open and close on Friday, 14 November 2025, and residents are encouraged to nominate.
