OPAL EVOLUTION is a new grass roots community art and culture initiative, in Andamooka,South Australia. Conceived by local artist Leila Day, its annual series of creative workshops and yearly festival is being developed in partnership with leading SA arts organisation and long standing Nature festival partner, OSCA - Open Space Contemporary Arts.

Come along and take part in this new and exciting regional festival of light, projection, visual art and a community parade that brings outstanding local and regional SA artists and community together to create a series of artistic outcomes that focus on the unique opal fields, opalized fossils, ecological formations and its rich palaeontological connections of the area when it was once the inland Eromanga Sea over 144 million years ago.

THIS IS A FREE ALL AGES EVENT.
