Graduate Exhibition

The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition is an annual celebration of the strongest creative voices emerging from South Australia’s contemporary art scene.

Each year visual artists from Flinders University and the University of South Australia showcase their graduate works at this prominent arts event. In 2024 we will be moving to a new student-focused space, at SASA Gallery, University of South Australia.

A range of disciplines are displayed at the event, including ceramics, glass, installation, jewellery, moving image, painting, photo media, photography, printmaking, sculpture and textiles.

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. This event has a long-standing history of providing a launch pad for the next generation of South Australian creatives, while also providing a snapshot of the future of contemporary art in our state.

Prepare to be moved by the drive and passion of the artists on display.
