Local artist group to celebrate 50 years

Dulwitches, a group of local artists, are getting ready to celebrate 50 years as part of the City of Burnside community.

Currently home to more than 20 talented South Australian craftspeople, Dulwitches’ store offers a wide range of products including baked goods, baby products, clothes, and around-home necessities.

Artist Lisa George said Dulwitches is continuing to grow even as it enters its half-century.

‘The shop changes week to week and we constantly have artists evolving,’ Lisa said. ‘We have customers come in whose mothers and grandmothers used to come in to buy, we’ve become a family institution.’

With the goal of brightening the lives of their customers through personal and distinctive artworks, Dulwitches are looking forward to sharing this outstanding milestone with the community in 2024.

Artist Tanya Curran said the team is planning to host a morning tea on Devereux Road in late April as a celebration for the big 50.

‘We have members coming who have been here from the start,’ Tanya said. ‘We can’t wait to celebrate such a milestone.’
