This is the 11th SALA festival, celebrating South Australian Living Artists.

It is an annual, state-wide Art festival celebrating, as the name suggest, living artists. Not only can you get more work from them in the future (unlike van Gogh) you can also watch them work in Open Studio’s, with hundred’s of free exhibitions, workshops and moving image events.

A unique experience holiday has just opened in the Adelaide Hills.

The Jonathan Arts Centre is an artist’s retreat where guests spend a relaxing, inspiring, rejuvenating weekend improving their painting skills while enjoying delicious breakfasts, lunches and gourmet dinners and luxury cottage style accommodation.

Despite being just 40 minutes from Adelaide, the Centre is set in one of the most beautiful and tranquil locations in the hills. 100k views to Lake Alexandrina, complete peace and quite, and a relaxed atmosphere ensure everyone chills out.

The Top Of The Torrens Theatre Group is now in rehearsals for their next production, titled, “A Variety Show”. In 2006 the TOTT, proudly assisted “The Strolling Tones” in donating $55,000 towards cancer research with a series of concerts entitled, “Wipeout”.

Directors, Helen Holliday and Gloria Seymour, with Musical Director, Kristina Vonow, and a wonderful cast of talented performers are focused on putting together a variety show that will also benefit cancer research. Songs from musicals and the sixties as well as an “Australiana” set are sure to “hit a chord” with many patrons.
