Are you an art lover, or a Park Lands lover, or both?

There are 80 works of art, inspired by your Adelaide Park Lands, adorning the foyer galleries at the Adelaide Festival Centre, until Sunday 7 May. You can see them all:

in person at the Festival Centre (Thurs & Sat 10am-3pm; Sun 12 - 4pm); or
on-line at our virtual exhibition; or
in the on-line catalogue.

Even better, you can purchase your favourite artwork, for installation at home, or in your office or showroom. For most businesses, an artwork (such as any of these) can be an instant write-off for tax purposes, provided it is displayed in your business premises.

Since the official opening of the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize exhibition on 24 March, each sale has been benefiting both the artist, and the Adelaide Park Lands Association in our mission to ‘Explore, Inspire, Protect and Restore’.
