FRIDAY 26 APRIL - FRIDAY 17 MAY
When Parna, the bright star that Arab astronomers named Fom-al-haut or ‘mouth of the whale’, appears on the south-eastern horizon just before sunrise, it announces the start of Parnati, a season of transition. Gentle breezes move to the west bringing with them a sharpness, the arc of the sun sinks lower, and cold nights come quicker, but there is a clarity and melancholy sweetness when the days are fine before the rains begin to fall.
In April|May as autumn shifts to winter, please join Contemporary Art staff and students for an evolving exhibition and series of performances on transformation, movement, projection, and translation.

HELPMANN ACADEMY GRADUATE EXHIBITION
THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY - FRIDAY 22 MARCH 2024
The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition is an annual celebration of the strongest creative voices emerging from South Australia’s contemporary art scene.
Each year visual artists from Flinders University and the University of South Australia showcase their graduate works at this prominent arts event. In 2024 we will be moving to a new student-focused space, at SASA Gallery, University of South Australia.
A range of disciplines are displayed at the event, including ceramics, glass, installation, jewellery, moving image, painting, photo media, photography, printmaking, sculpture and textiles.
The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition remains one of the most significant opportunities for emerging creatives in the country, thanks to the generosity of our award donors. This event has a long-standing history of providing a launch pad for the next generation of South Australian creatives, while also providing a snapshot of the future of contemporary art in our state.
