The South Australian Living Arts (SALA) Festival is back this August, and it is once again bringing the ultimate celebration of visual art, state-wide in South Australia. The festival will feature the work of 8,000 South Australian artists, across hundreds of visual art exhibitions, throughout the entire state of SA.

The SALA festival is state-wide, for the entire month of August and offers the perfect excuse to explore and enjoy the beauty of South Australia as the season changes from Winter to Spring.
