Keynote Speeches
Each year the SALA Board invites a South Australian artist to deliver a 5-10 minute talk at the Official Launch of the Festival. Artists have been invited to address a particular subject that affects the artistic community, these subjects have varied from public art; the role of art schools; to being a parent, artist and provider or emerging as an artist.
Artists are not writers or public speakers and we appreciate enormously the contribution made by this particular group.
