Both a mindful art series and a living exhibition, "Life. A Work in Progress…" evolves each Sunday in August during the SALA Festival. Experience a living, evolving art exhibition where creativity unfolds in real-time.

From 9:30am-11:30am, art series participants engage in a five-week creative journey blending mindfulness, meditation, and artistic expression. No final destination—just presence, connection, and change in motion. Each morning, fresh layers of paint are added to participants’ individual paintings and then displayed to showcase raw creative progress.

The interactive art exhibition then opens from 11:30am-2:30pm. Two additional interactive pieces—one shaped by workshop artists, the other by visitors—grow weekly, reflecting collective imagination.

The final Sunday celebrates creative kindness with local wine tastings and a silent auction, where the evolving masterpieces will be auctioned with proceeds donated to The Foundation Barossa Domestic Violence Response Fund.
