Here is a complete town-by-town guide of the SALA Festival on the Fleurieu Peninsula
More than 250 artists at 51 venues across the Fleurieu Peninsula will showcase their finest work as part of a brilliant state-wide 19th annual South Australian Living Artists – SALA – festival throughout August.
Overall, it will take art to the people through 630 exhibitions embracing all media.
SALA not only fetes its finest or best-known artists, but encourages those perhaps lesser known to live their dream and present their work to the community.
Among these many emerging artists is Wendy Williams (pictured right), of Middleton, who shares an amazing passion for painting. As a mother of two boys, Max, 11, and Hudson, seven, being an artist brings its different challenges and at times personal rewards, but she has tremendous support from her husband, Andrew Brown, a schoolteacher at Investigator College, and our local art galleries.
“An artist’s life can be a difficult pleasure,” Wendy said. “It can be financially challenging, vocationally questionable, and often quiet isolated. This said, there is no doubt the arts helps to enrich all of our lives.
“SALA places a very big spotlight on South Australian artists and is integral to creating greater community awareness of visual arts.”
Wendy will exhibit her beautiful work throughout August, including an exhibition at Artworx, Goolwa, which has long-promoted our visual arts. She will hold artist-in-residence events in the gallery on August 14 from 11am-2pm followed by an opening, and on Friday August 19 from 1-3pm, and Sundays August 21 and 28 from 11am-2pm.
Coast Lines is proud to present all of the exhibitions and events across the Fleurieu Peninsula in order of towns as if we were to drive from Ashborne and Strathalbyn through to Milang, Goolwa, across to Victor Harbor, up to McLaren Vale and into Kuitpo Forest to Dingabledinga. (Some of the opening events have already been held).
It represents an wonderful venture into the finest art the Fleurieu Peninsula has to offer – a most valuable cultural experience. And may we also appreciate the wonderful emerging artists like Wendy Williams. Enjoy!
