The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition is an annual celebration of the strongest creative voices emerging from South Australia’s contemporary art scene.
21 visual artists from Flinders University and the University of South Australia will showcase their graduate works at our popular event this April at Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE) – South Australia’s leading independent contemporary visual arts organisation.
The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition has long history of being a launch pad for the next generation of artistic talent in our state. This is your chance to view and celebrate the next generation of South Australian artists and see new works from emerging creatives on the rise.
A range of disciplines are on display, including ceramics, glass, installation, jewellery, moving image, painting, photo media, photography, printmaking, sculpture and textiles.
Exhibiting artists will be eligible for 16 awards valued at over $80,000, to be presented on the opening night of the exhibition. The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition remains one of the most significant opportunities for emerging creatives in the country, thanks to the generosity of our award donors and partners.
We hope you immerse yourself in the exhibition as we celebrate the strongest creative voices emerging from SA’s contemporary art scene. This is your chance to see some of the most exciting artists on the rise.
