The South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival is a statewide festival of visual art. The Summit
Community Centre will once again be participating in SALA with our community exhibition featuring a diverse range of artists from across the community, showcasing artworks in various mediums. Join us for the opening night of 'Adelaide Hills Connections' - artwork reflecting connections to community, nature, environment and history of the Adelaide Hills.

There will be plenty to do on the night:

enjoy a taste of Persian cuisine
get creative with artist, Rebecca Prince by decorating a bug to add to our outdoor mural

Soft drinks, tea and coffee will be provided and wine will be available for purchase from Ten Miles East.

Don't forget to vote for the People's Choice Award which will be awarded to the winner at the end of the exhibition.

A young artist's competition (ages 5 - 18) will also be running, with entries displayed during the exhibition. There will be prizes in four age groups chosen by popular vote.
