Art across Adelaide: 2024 SALA Festival

Australia’s largest open access visual arts festival South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival will run from 1 – 31 August, celebrating the creative talents of our South Australian arts community with exhibitions spreading across Adelaide and reaching into the regions. This year’s festival sees over 10,000 artists participating in 706 exhibitions.

In 2024 the SALA Hub finds its new home at ILA Light Square. This lively meeting place is perfect for a meal or drink, while there you can view an exhibition and SALA will be running a variety of events for those eager to tap into their creative side, bring a friend for the ‘It Takes Two’ workshop with Dan Withey for a night of fun creative manoeuvres, or do away with your inhibitions and sign up for the Sketchy workshop with Sally Heinrich as she guides you through a series of activities that will make you forget that you can’t draw! 

The SALA Hub is also the departure point for the ever-popular SALA bus and walking tours. Some of this year’s walking tours include the Street Art Walking Tour, Local & Contemporary Art Tour and Dog Friendly Art tour where you and your furry friend can walk through some of Adelaide’s city galleries together.

Throughout August, SALA exhibitions can be found everywhere in community spaces, local galleries, cafes, schools, retirement villages, wineries, libraries, local businesses and across the state from Port Adelaide to Port Pirie, Campbelltown to the Clare Valley, the Fleurieu to the Flinders, the entire state becomes a vibrant canvas! 

Don’t miss the highlight of SALA 2024, Julia Robinson, the festival’s featured artist, is showcasing her mesmersing exhibition, Split By The Spade, at Adelaide Central Gallery. Immerse yourself in Robinson’s captivating work that promises to leave a lasting impression.

Whether you’re a SALA regular or curious newcomer, dive into the festivities, explore your neighbourhood and immerse yourself in the creative spirit of SALA.
