Goodwill South Australia

06/02/2025

This week, Goodwill South Australia + YouSee Art officially opened its doors at 28 Pitt St, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start! Johanna & Kamila happened to be passing by, stepped inside, and became our very first customers, purchasing a stunning vintage fur coat.

This unique collaboration between Goodwill and YouSee Art is more than just secondhand - it’s an “op-shop, art-shop” hybrid, offering vintage fashion, upcycled pieces, books, knick-knacks, and local artwork. The space itself has been lovingly transformed by our Artist in Residence, Claire Wildish, Goodwill Manager Stephanie, resident painter Mark, and the incredible New Roads clients. Special mention to the U City retirees and community stitchers who handcrafted the store’s custom curtains - proof that creativity and community go hand in hand!

The store will also provide services from the You See Art sewing circle, offering a service that ranges from hemming pants to reinventing Goodwill finds into custom pieces.

Come and check out the new store. We are here at📍28 Pitt St and we’re open Tues–Thurs, 10am–4pm, and we’re already buzzing with customers. Our grand opening is coming later this month, where we’ll celebrate the many hands that made this vision a reality.

A huge thank you to everyone involved - this is truly what community collaboration is all about!

✨ Sustainable fashion meets community creativity at ADL Fashion Week! ✨

On Friday 11 October, You See Art will transform Pitt Street with TEXTILE – a street parade and wearable art collection made from upcycled clothing donated to Goodwill South Australia. ♻️👗

A collaboration between Uniting Communities’ artist-in-residence Claire Wildish and fast-emerging First Nations artist Raquel Larkins, this project celebrates the intersection of art, fashion, and sustainability. 🌈🧵

What makes TEXTILE even more special? It’s a true community effort!

Participants from UC’s New ROADS and Kurlana Tampawardli programs stitched, painted and created alongside U City residents to sew many of these unique pieces in this vibrant one-of-a-kind collection.

🔗 TEXTILE has already sold out once, but we've expanded capacity – grab your free ticket now and join us in celebrating sustainable fashion and community creativity! 💚🩷
