First Fridays: More than a Prize

To celebrate the ongoing journey of Reconciliation, this First Friday we focus on artists under 40 from around the country. Hear from the South Australian Ramsay Art Prize finalists as they discuss their work in the exhibition space. Outside in the sculpture garden, listen to Rob Edwards infuse his Arrernte culture into Soul, Jazz, and Blues.

We’ve joined forces with the creative team from The Speakeasy Hotel who will be serving a selection of SA's finest beverages. Find them in the ‘Miami’ parked out in the courtyard. The Speakeasy Hotel is owned and operated by creatives and performers from Gravity & Other Myths, Lewis Major Projects and Erin Fowler Movement.
