A new month brings new adventures, so what does the start of August hold? Wine, art, road trips and making a difference, that’s what.

1. South Australian Living Artists Festival

When: 1–31 August

Where: Venues throughout SA

Hundreds of artists will exhibit at the South Australian Living Artists Festival (SALA) – a community-based visual arts festival held in unconventional venues throughout South Australia. Think bookshops, cafes and cemeteries. Wherever you choose to get arty this August, take a moment to marvel at the talents of South Australian artists, and maybe even add a piece or two to your collection at home.

3 days until my next SALA exhibition! I feel sick in my stomach from excitement and stress. For a part-time artist like myself it’s such a big deal to put your art out there and show it to people you never met. Can’t wait to see the other artists’ works in situ at Fluid Dynamic group exhibit @stallardmeek this Thursday. #SALA2019 #exhibition #display #norwood #adelaideexhibition #adelaideart #adelaideartist #southaustralianlivingartistsfestival

2. Illuminart: Travelling Light

When: 2 August

Where: Port Pirie

Illuminart is a SALA show worth a mention of its own. Watch Port Pirie’s silos light up with artwork blown up as large as possible and colourful animations that dance along the towers. Bring a few chairs or a blanket big enough for the whole family and enjoy this unique light show produced by artists and animators from around regional SA. The spectacular sight is well worth the last-minute road trip to the mid north. If you can’t make it to Port Pirie, you can catch the roving show in other locations around the state.

3. Walk a Mile in My Boots

When: 9 August

Where: Victoria Park to South Parklands

Sometimes you need to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to appreciate what you have. That’s exactly what hundreds of South Aussies do each year during Hutt St Centre’s Walk a Mile in My Boots, an event raising funds for people experiencing homelessness. There’s still time to register, so lace up your boots, brave the cold and hit the pavement for a good cause.
