Reid participated in the 2006 and 2007 'Our Mob’ exhibitions at the Adelaide Festival Centre. She also participated in 'Ripples in the Sand’, an exhibition commissioned for the inaugural Yarnaballa Cultural Festival in 2008, which was part of the 2008 'Port Augusta Re-Imagines’ Regional Centre of Culture Program. The exhibition, which took place at the Port Augusta Cultural Centre Gallery, was devoted to the perspectives of Indigenous artists who had a strong connection to Port Augusta.
