The South Australian Living Artists Festival (SALA, or SALA Festival) is a statewide, open-access[1] visual arts festival which takes place throughout August in South Australia each year.[2]
The SALA features a range of approximately 600 venues including galleries and non-traditional spaces such as cafes, bookshops, and cemeteries which exhibit all forms of visual arts.[3]
Organisation
The SALA Festival was established in 1998 as an initiative of the Australian Commercial Galleries Association, SA Branch, to promote and celebrate visual artists in South Australia.[4] Its aim is to extend audiences for living artists in South Australia, with a policy of inclusiveness which allows all artists at any level and working in any medium to be part of the Festival.[5]
Originally called the South Australian Living Artists Week, its name was changed to SALA Festival in 2002.[6]
The SALA Festival is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on government support, private sponsorship and earned income to invest back into South Australian artists.[7]
