South Australian Living Artist Publication
The South Australian Living Artist Publication is an annual opportunity for a South Australian artist to have their visual arts practice celebrated in a high quality book.
There are 23 books in this series, which is published by Wakefield Press and supported by the Government of South Australia. The publication aims to develop audiences and focus on artists’ current and future practice, and is written by an established and an emerging writer. The most recent book features artist Mark Valenzuela and will soon be available for purchase.
Applications for this opportunity are facilitated by the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
