Pioneer posters will make a welcome return to the 2021 History Festival, but this year’s exhibition will have an added dimension from those of previous years. The Pioneers Association of South Australia is joining forces with the Royal SA Society of Arts (RSASA) in April-May to display over 50 pioneer posters some new, some written earlier, in the society’s gallery on North Terrace. They will be hung alongside works of art created by the artist members of the RSASA, enhancing the pioneer stories.
Inspiration drawn from biographies in the collection of the Pioneers Association of South Australia has resulted in members of the Royal South Australian Society of the Arts making accompanying artworks reflecting the pioneer stories.
The relationship between the oldest art society in South Australia (and Australia; established in 1856) with the oldest continuing SA History Association (established in 1935), in the gallery of the oldest cultural building on North Terrace (constructed in 1860) will provide a unique perspective to this exhibition which will run from 24 April until 22 May with free entry.

Artist Scott Eames and Hugh Adamson working on the Portrait of Lady Mayoress Genevieve Theseira-Haese / 20 August 2017
Apart from the amazing finalists work on the walls and the prizes what is special about the RSASA/SALA Portrait Prize is the portrait demonstrations. Watching the artists create portraits is watching art being born.
The subject is the human face and pose, live in the gallery. Watching the work come to life is a privilege. When we experience the synergy of a life-long practice, intense observation, immense skill and alchemy come together in harmony. Sheer magic happens before your eyes.
We are honoured and privileged to be able to watch these distinguished artists display their craft.
To book go to Eventbrite here or contact the gallery directly on (08) 8232 0450 or via email at exhibitions@rsasarts.com.au
The first demonstration is on Tuesday, 30 July 11am to 1pm. Other dates are Thursday, 1 Aug, Tuesday, 6 Aug, Thursday, 15 Aug, Tuesday, 20 Aug
