Every donation made to our EOFY campaign this week is DOUBLED, thanks to a generous Guildhouse supporter ✨

Your donation goes directly towards supporting our landmark retrospective exhibition, celebrating 60-years of Guildhouse supporting South Australian artists.

From established voices like Clare Belfrage to the many artists featured in this retrospective, this exhibition is about connection, between artists, audiences, and generations.

"The current range of offerings and opportunities of the Guildhouse programs is useful, inspiring, supportive and challenging. There is a focus on the individual, an understanding that one size does not fit all, and, equally, a commitment to the value and importance of community and connectivity." Clare Belfrage, Guildhouse Accredited Member.

Until 24 June, your contribution has an even greater impact.

🏜️ CALLING ALL ARTISTS WORKING IN FLINDERS RANGES 🏜️

The Intersection Regional Tour, presented by Guildhouse and Country Arts SA , is visiting the Flinders Ranges from 22–27 September and we invite you to get involved and share your practice with us.

🎨 Sign up for a free Artist Studio Visit:
Studio Visits are designed as a collaborative exchange to share creative practices, insights, processes and approaches with the Guildhouse and Country Arts SA teams.

For us, wherever people are is the studio visit, it does not need to be a traditional studio space. It can be a walk and talk through town, visiting a home-based creative working space or meeting up at a cafe to share what creativity and arts practice are to you and how we can support you. 💝
