SALA FESTIVAL CELEBRATES
SA ARTISTS
We are proud to support this year’s annual SALA (South
Australian Living Artists) Festival - a statewide celebration of
visual art from 1 to 31 August.
The SALA Festival was established in 1998 and this year there
are plenty of SALA exhibitions and events across the City,
in galleries, cafes, pubs, libraries and community centres.
Adelaide’s biggest art trail; After Dark - SALA in the Port,
is returning for its third year. Taking place on Friday 9 August,
After Dark is a one-night-only event where visitors can walk the
art trail between venues lit by lanterns, enjoying the exhibitions
as well as all the great food, live music and atmosphere that
the Port has to offer.
Our City of PAE SALA Guide will be available from the Port
Adelaide Visitor Information Centre, Civic Centre, Libraries,
Community Centres and participating galleries and venues
from late July. It will also be available at
MOREWALLS BROUGHT TO LIFE
FORWONDERWALLS
In late March, we welcomed an influx of international, Australian
and local street artists to transform the Port’s blank walls into
internationally significant works of art. Sponsored by PAE and
major sponsor Pirate Life Brewing, Wonderwalls Big Picture
Fest 2019 was the third time the community has come together
to witness the power of creativity, through the creation of high
profile destination art murals in Port Adelaide.
Wonderwalls Big Picture Fest 2019 provided a fabulous
opportunity for four PAE based artists: Jake Holmes, Scott
Rathman, Scott Coleman and Tailor Winston to transform PAE
public spaces, along with The Love Birds mural by Phat 1 and
Lady Diva (NZ) on the Town Hall in Nile Street and the interior
mural in the Port Adelaide Visitor Information Centre.

A LASTING MEMORIAL TO
OUR ANZACS
Construction of a memorial to Australian Army soldiers is now
complete at the Gilles Plains and Hampstead RSL in Manningham,
and was ready for use at this year’s ANZAC dawn service.
The shelter respectfully acknowledges the Australian Army
Slouch Hat with the ‘Rising Sun’ badge and the puggaree on the
hat with the seven folds of the puggaree reflected in the design of
the shelter, while blending into the surrounding environment and
existing building. The shelter, with surrounding landscaping, sits in
front of a memorial to military personnel and an Australian flag
pole which flies our flag proudly at the rear.
The shelter, which will be lit at night, was first used for this year’s
ANZAC Day service and is open to the public to use every other
day of the year. The project was funded by the Government
of South Australia, with the design and construction project
managed by the City of PAE.
