The 2010 South Australian Living Artist (SALA) Festival concludes on 22nd August 2010.

The SALA Festival is a uniquely South Australian event that encourages its audience to get out and view the works of emerging and established artists in traditional and nontraditional spaces all over the state.

The Board of the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival is delighted to announce the two year appointment of Conny Wilson to the position of Chairperson for SA Living Artists Inc.
Conny, who has recently moved to the JamFactory Contemporary Craft & Design, as General Manager and was most recently Acting CEO of the 2009 Adelaide Fringe, has spent several years working in the Arts.
Conny takes over from Mr Paul Greenaway OAM, the founding Chairman of the SALA Festival who has spent 12 years overseeing the annual event.
“Paul’s contribution to the arts in this state has been quite exceptional; as founding chair he worked tirelessly in promoting artists and ensured they were provided with an opportunity to showcase their talents. I look forward to building on this platform, by further engaging artists, developing audiences and promoting its accessibility to the broader community. The SALA Festival is one of the State’s major cultural events, and to me, this is recognition of the importance of the role of the arts in our lives” says Wilson.
The August dates for the 2010 SALA Festival will be released shortly.
