Rita Hall artwork for Friends' SASA 'Season's Greetings' card

High Honour -
Dobell Drawing Prize selection

A drawing by Friends of SASA Committee member, Yvonne East, The black dog, was selected for exhibition in the 2009 Dobell Drawing Prize.

Yvonne said at the time of her selection:
"I am absolutely delighted to find that I am a finalist again this year for the Dobell Drawing prize. The launch and announcement of the winner was yesterday - a beautiful work by Pam Hallandal, and she spoke so eloquently on her acceptance. I was amazed to find that my work was hung right next to the winner near the entrance of the gallery - and another bonus - the exhibition is running until 31st January 2010! "

The drawing formed the basis for Yvonne's painting of the same title which was exhibited in the 2009 'First of the Friends' exhibition at the Civic Gallery, Hawke Building, University of South Australia.

In search of Outlook '71'ers!!!!

The SASA History Project is keen to find images of works by those students who exhibited in the ‘Outlook 71’ exhibition which was held at the Art Gallery of South Australia from May 12 to June 6, 1971, for inclusion in their archives.

If you can’t remember if you had works in this exhibition, you will find a complete catalogue listing all exhibiting students by clicking on the Catalogue cover at right.

Even if you didn’t participate in this exhibition, the SASA History Project is very keen to find images of works that were produced by students at Stanley Street, particularly during the 1960s.
