The events listed below are part of the fundraising events organised by the Friends of the South Australian School of Art. Funds raised will be used to support the work of the South Australian School of Art through various awards and activities.
Design Now at Hahndorf Academy
Curated by John Neylon
The Hahndorf Academy's next exhibition, Design Now, which was curated by John Neylon and is toured by Country Arts SA, features the work of recent Associates from Adelaide's Jam Factory Contemporary Craft and Design Centre. The exhibition will be on view from February 5th to 21st March.
This purpose-designed touring exhibition was developed in response to an expressed need by regional art & design teachers to have an exhibition dedicated to design and comes with comprehensive teaching resources and teacher workshops as part of Country Arts SA’s Learning Connections program.
The exhibition also comes with a Catalogue which can be downloaded by individual artist from the Country Arts website. The artists include: Karen Cunningham, Takeshi Iue, Megann Jones, Michelle Kelly, Amanda King, Mercedes Magnall, Vicki Melanson, Meghan O'Rourke, Maria Parmenter, David Potts, John Quan and Michelle Taylor.
Interview with Ann Newmarch
The first public event in 2010 for the Friends of SASA will be held on the evening of Thursday 1st April, when Associate Professor (Adjunct), Jack Cross will interview artist and teacher, Ann Newmarch. The time and venue for this interview will be posted to this site shortly in the Friends of SASA Calendar of Events.
Members are encouraged to put this date in their diary so they don't miss hearing Ann reminisce about her many years as a lecturer at SASA (since 1969) and about her work as a significant South Australian artist.
Calendar of Events for 2010
The Friends of SASA Council is currently developing a Calendar of Events for the Friends of SASA for the upcoming year. This calendar will not only list those events that are specific to members of the Friends, but also those that will be of relevance and interest to all South Australians who want to keep up to date with what is happening in the visual arts.
The list will be posted to this page of the website shortly.
