A very Australian way to sell art – hanging from an outdoor clothesline

SALA on Show Bluethumb exhibition

Bluethumb’s SALA exhibition round-up – five sales and some talented new South Australian artists.

Here at Bluethumb we’ve been pretty excited about the South Australian Living Artists festival, and especially our pop-up exhibition for SALA on Show that happened at Unley Shopping Centre on Sunday. The Advertiser ran an article on Saturday promoting the event, Online gallery gives artists a hoist at SALA Festival closing event, and we had a great turn out on the day.

The exhibition was our best yet, with star of the show Kelly Jade King selling several paintings. She’s fantastically talented and now the only question is whether she can keep up with the demand for her art.

Saadah Kent sold her beautiful piece Pink Lilies on Sunday. Another talented Adelaide local, Saadah has some particularly beautiful treescapes for sale on Bluethumb.

Here are a few pics and a round-up of the event. We hope you can join us for our next open air exhibition – because art looks great hanging from Hills Hoist clotheslines.
