You’re Invited!

Please join us for the Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition Opening Night.

21 visual artists from Flinders University and the University of South Australia will showcase their graduate works at our popular event at Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE) – South Australia’s leading independent contemporary visual arts organisation.

The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition has long history of being a launch pad for the next generation of artistic talent in our state.

A range of disciplines are on display, including ceramics, glass, installation, jewellery, moving image, painting, photo media, photography, printmaking, sculpture and textiles.

Exhibiting artists will be eligible for 16 awards valued at nearly $70,000, to be presented on the opening night of the exhibition. The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition remains one of the most significant opportunities for emerging creatives in the country, thanks to the generosity of our award donors and partners.

We hope you immerse yourself in the exhibition as we celebrate the strongest creative voices emerging from SA’s contemporary art scene and see some of the most exciting artists on the rise.

Drinks will be available to purchase from our cashless bar.
