SALA is a state-wide showcase and celebration of South Australia’s living visual artists.
SALA runs for the entire month of August and is the largest community-based open-access visual arts festival in Australia.
SALA Festival is an open-access visual arts festival held annually which celebrates the work of living South Australian visual artists, regardless of age or experience. It involves exhibitions in venues like galleries, libraries, retail and community spaces, cafes, open studios, along coastlines, at schools, retirement villages, wineries and more. After the success of their online exhibitions in 2020 there are also numerous online exhibitions for people to view without needing to step outside.
2024 Feature Artist
Julia Robinson is a South Australian visual artist working in the fields of sculpture and installation. Her work reflects an interest in pre-Christian rituals and calendrical customs relating to fertility and the cycle of the seasons, and by extension, cycles of growth and decay. Looking to her British ancestry as a starting point, Robinson creates objects that sit at the intersection of folklore, ritual and folk horror, a genre currently experiencing a revival through films, literature and music. Recent works employ historical costuming and sewing techniques to examine narratives around fecundity, sex, and death, and evoke forms in a state of metamorphosis.
SALA Program
The 2024 online program is now live and will allow you to refine your search by venue or artist, plus there are workshops, masterclasses, tours and much more. The printed SALA Program is available from Foodland stores, registered SALA venues, civic centres and visitor information centres across the state.
