The South Australian Living Artists Festival (SALA, or SALA Festival) is a statewide, open-access[1] visual arts festival which takes place during August in South Australia.[2]

SALA features a wide range of venues including galleries and non-traditional spaces such as cafes, bookshops, and even 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 each August.[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 and continue its ongoing success.[7]

As of 2019, major sponsors are The Advertiser (Adelaide), the Australian Government, and the Government of South Australia.[8]

Festival prizes

The SALA Festival offers a number of prizes, with the main two being the SALA Festival monograph[10] and The Advertiser Contemporary Art Award.[11]

SALA Festival Monograph

The SALA Festival Monograph is an award launched in 1999 as part of the SALA Festival.[12] With funding provided by the South Australian Government,[13] a monograph (book) is commissioned and written on a leading South Australian artist or craftsperson with potential for national and international promotion and published by Wakefield Press.[12] The first recipient of the SALA Festival Monograph was Annette Bezor.[12] The most recent recipient whose monograph will be published in 2019 is Louise Haselton.[14]
