South Australian Living Artists Festival 

The South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival is a statewide festival of visual art taking place across South Australia annually, durin

g the entire month of August.The SALA Festival was established in 1998 to promote and celebrate the many talented visual artists in South Australia. The aim was -and remains- to exten

d visual arts

audiences, and as an umbrella organisation, SALA have continued a policy of inclusiveness allowing all South Australian visual artists of any level and working in any medium to be part of our annual SALA Festival every August.

As part of SALA’s commitment to building new audiences for the visual arts, SALA began offering art tours. This started in 2002 as a way to encourage office workers to visit galleries in their lunch breaks. Today, SALA presents a diverse offering of tours and events -including bus tours to regional areas and bilingual tours.

SALA Festival also continues its dedication to creating and supporting opportunities for visual artists by liaising with sponsors and partners to offer a series of awards and residencies.
