Intersection
Country Arts SA in partnership with Guildhouse are excited to launch Intersection in 2024!
Intersection is a bespoke professional development program connecting artists, craftspeople, designers and creatives in regional communities across South Australia. There are four main stops on the tour – Goolwa, Minlaton, Renmark and Mount Gambier – with the opportunity for us to extend out from these centres to connect with surrounding peoples and communities.
Fleurieu Peninsula
1 – 4 May
Yorke Peninsula
24 – 27 July
Riverland
5 – 8 September
Limestone Coast
24 – 27 October
We are coming to learn, exchange, showcase and celebrate how meaningful, valuable and dynamic lived experiences of developing creative practices can be. Strengthening professional practice, capability, confidence and connection. At each main stop on the tour we will host an open community event to celebrate, gather and share collectively. Throughout the Intersection tour, we open the call out for locals to book us in for a ‘Studio Visit’.
‘Studio Visits’ are for a collaborative exchange, to share creative practices, insights, processes and approaches – with Samantha Faehrmann (Artistic Program Manager, Guildhouse) and Lauren Mustillo (Visual Arts Manager, Country Arts SA). To book a ‘Studio Visit’, follow the link below, select a time of day / date and the closest main stop on the tour to your location and we will contact you to plot a place to meet. For us, wherever people are is ‘the studio visit’ – it’s not necessarily a physical space – a ‘studio visit’ can be a walk and talk through town, visiting a home based creative working space or meeting up at a local park or place to share what creativity and arts practice are for you and us learn how we can support you in that.
Intersection is delivered in collaboration and partnership with Guildhouse and Country Arts SA with principal support from The Ades Family Foundation and a travel grant from Gordon Darling Foundation.
