SALA comes to Port Adelaide

Tayla Carlaw, Break 4 Love, Painting

The South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival is a statewide festival of Visual Art.

The SALA Festival was established in 1998 to promote and celebrate the many talented visual artists in South Australia every August.

The extraordinary range of exhibition venues means that you can find art just about anywhere around SA, from traditional galleries to cafes, hairdressers, pubs and other unexpected places. The art is as diverse as the artists, with all kinds of media represented: painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, digital media, moving image, glass, ceramics, textiles and more.

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield is a huge part of the festival – here are our picks in the area:

8 @ Jackalope

all my friends are dead

Steven Bellosguardo fuses contemporary techniques with a traditional approach to sculpture’s original subject, the human figure. His first solo show features an installation of large-scale drawings made from steel. Following the structure of an apprenticeship, Steven turned to modern masters Calder, Noguchi, and Moore as mentors, studying the medium of sculpture through simple, refined, and elegant compositions. A series belonging to 20th-century modernism, Steven lays his training to rest in this exhibition of playful forms.

10 Aug – 15 Sep
