Local SALA Festival Activities
The SALA Festival is our state's annual celebration of South Australian Art, established in 1998 to promote and celebrate the many talented visual artists in South Australia. The aim of SALA is to extend visual arts audiences, and allow all artists at any level and working in any medium to be part of the annual SALA Festival every August.
2024 SALA Program
The full SALA program for our region will be added to this page when it becomes available.
2024 Artists Subsidy
Berri Barmera Council is again offering a SALA Festival registration subsidy program for artists (established, emerging or amateur) and groups who are planning on registering a SALA activity within the Berri Barmera district.
Our SALA Festival registration subsidy program will provide financial assistance equivalent to the Festival’s Early Bird Registration Fee.
In 2024 we are providing a $140 capped subsidy to assist individual artists and a $246 capped subsidy to assist groups to assist with costs associated with registering a SALA activity within the Berri Barmera district. There may also be the opportunity to receive some venue support for the use of Council Facilities for SALA related activities.
To be part of this subsidy program:
- register your event/exhibition via the SALA Festival website https://www.salafestival.com/.
- Pay the relavent registration fee to SALA
- Complete the Council artists subsidy form by no later than 17 May 2024 to apply to receive your subsidy.
Allocation of subsidy will only be available until the budget allocation is expended. Artists will be notified of subsidy approval by 27 May 2024. If you have any queries please contact our Community, Recreation and Events Manager, Andrew Haigh on 8582 1922.
