The South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival runs throughout August, showcasing the talent and creativity of South Australia's visual artists. The SALA Festival celebrates local community and diversity. 

Over the past 20 years, SALA in Unley has boasted more venues and artists than any other metropolitan region and continues to maintain its popularity. We look forward to more artists and venues coming on board in 2026. 

Our traders and businesses are always looking for artists to show work in their areas. For more information please contact Matthew Ives mives@unley.sa.gov.au or any of our local businesses and trader associations. 

Artist Registration Subsidy Scheme

The City of Unley has established an artist registration subsidy scheme for artists exhibiting in the City of Unley area. This scheme acknowledges the role that artists and local venues play in the cultural life of the council area.

Subsidies will be provided to artists who are:

  • residents of the City of Unley who are exhibiting either in or outside of the Council area
  • artists exhibiting within the City of Unley

Subsidies will only be provided for costs associated with registrations for SALA. Multiple applications may be considered.
