Gallery
Through our Instagram Gallery you’ll find inspiring stories and a growing collection of beautifully created crickets bats. The bats have been refurbished and prepared by Will and his team from Yorke Peninsula Leisure Options SA, Woodbine Inc VIC and Will in NSW. The bats have been created and hand-painted by over 700 Australian and international celebrities, artists, muscicians, sportspeople, farmers, school children, politicians and community members.
We are deeply honoured and grateful to the amazing people who have given so freely of their time and their talent. This Gallery represents a unique collection of cricket bats that is available for sale.

📢 Calling all Men’s Sheds creatives 👨🎨
We're teaming up with the @australianmensshedassociation to increase awareness and inclusion for people with disabilities by curating an Australian-first Men's Shed art exhibition.
We hope to inspire over 1200 sheds to transform a cricket bat into a piece of art 🏏 and build some great new relationships.
Interested? Read more and encourage your local shed to register an expression of interest so we can keep you up to date.

There are men’s sheds across rural Australian communities building incredibly impactful relationships with men living with intellectual disabilities.
AMSA prioritises the wellbeing of all men valuing the role that men’s sheds play in the prevention of social isolation by providing a safe, friendly and welcoming place for men to work on meaningful projects and to contribute to the wider community.
The increasing inclusion of men with intellectual disabilities has changed perceptions, creating so much more understanding and ultimately building new pathways to social inclusion and employment that were previously non existent in many communities.
Thank you for this picture from the Willo’s Mens Shed in Willaston SA.

In 2019 after spending nine months with the community of Rainbow in Victoria, we curated our 8th cricket bat exhibition which included 90 artists.
These artists who now number over 800, were also truck drivers, welders, farmers, teachers, business owners, gallery owners, mums and dads and students.
They came together to talk about inclusive communities, gain greater awareness and understanding around people who live with disability and diversity, and through the sale of their artworks, raise funds.
Not only did this small community create one of our most successful creative and financial exhibitions, they also used their funds to build the Rainbow Innovation Centre;supporting all abilities
A place that uses art, craft and gardening to connect all people who have felt excluded and isolated because of their differences and, bring the community together to build new sustainable and authentic friendships.
People often ask what’s with the cricket bats ?
We arrived back last week after 2 years to assist with their strategic planning day, create some art and share stories.
Stories that would inspire the leaders of this country to see and know that inclusive communities are stronger and so much more empowered when we include and see everyone.
Thankyou Bernie from Woodbine Incorporated for your support and guidance and Belinda @rainbowinnovationcentre for your commitment to inclusion.
