About our Community 
L’Arche supporters in Adelaide first met in 2013.
We were drawn together by a common vision of establishing community for people with and without intellectual disability. We became incorporated in 2015 and accorded project status by L’Arche International.
Community gatherings are held regularly; our community weekend occurs every January.
L’Arche Adelaide Mission Plan 2024-2026
You’re welcome to attend gatherings, become a community supporter, volunteer or a community assistant.
Art Project – Community in Diversity: “Life as I see it”
Art has always played an important role in the lives of the L’Arche Adelaide community. In 2025 we were privileged to receive a substantial donation from a very supportive donor. We’ve used this donation to develop an art project culminating in exhibitions of the artwork and stories of people with intellectual disabilities. The enthusiasm for the art project has been way above our initial expectations, with participation from L’Arche communities around Australia, and from the wider community. Our first art exhibitions were held in August 2026 as part of the state-wide South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival. Subsequent exhibitions will be held around Adelaide. We’ll definitely be continuing the art project into 2027! We give thanks to all those who’ve contributed and participated in this project so far. See L’Arche Adelaide Facebook and L’Arche Adelaide Art Collective – YouTube for updates, photos and videos of the project.
