Opening Exhibition
Airport Art Opening Exhibition
Kangaroo Island has a rich history of arts and culture and is becoming increasingly known as an exciting arts destination.
Four decades of commitment from active local Community Art groups has underpinned a vibrant arts scene which nurtures award-winning and aspiring artists in early and mid-career stages of their practices. The Island arguably hosts more artists and exhibitions per head of population than elsewhere in South Australia.
In recent years Kangaroo Island artists have developed a unique and striking voice that follows on from the earliest tradition of European botanical and zoological drawings and painting at the time of first official white settlement. Artists inspired by the Island - its tranquillity, beauty and isolation - produce varied and unique quality artworks in exciting and diverse materials which visitors can enjoy at the many galleries, craft outlets and artist studios, as well as discover impressive public installations scattered across the Island.
The inaugural Kangaroo Island Airport exhibition presents a selected showing of the rich art-making talents of 22 of the Island’s contemporary artists and celebrates their contribution to community life.
