Now on Shop SALA: Mia Claudia Edith Jewellery

"I fell in love with jewellery making while studying - the sentimentality spoke to my emotional side, the recyclability to my environmental values and the physicality of the jewellery making process appealed to my restlessness."

Currently based in the Eyre Peninsula, this artist draws inspiration from nature where the process of making allows her to focus on the details that deserve attention. She is also dedicated to keeping her environmental impact as small as possible.

The 2026 Metropolitan winner of the Whittles Body Corporate Management Services Venue Award is: South Henley Newsagency & Postoffice!

The judges found that the South Henley Newsagency & Post Office completely embodied what this award is about in their support of artist Felicity Steer. From putting away their own stock to ensure that her artwork could breathe & present well, to getting so completely behind the spirit of her work, charging no commission on sales that they readily facilitated, and much more that was a delight to read in their nomination.

The 2026 Regional Winner of the Whittles Body Corporate Management Services Venue Award is: Mallee Spirit Distillery!

The judges were impressed at the variety of ways that Mallee Spirit Distillery supported their artists. From free accommodation, words of encouragement, and the creation of opportunities for the artists to engage with visitors, through to the dedicated promotion of the event within and beyond the district of Lameroo, and accompanying events to encourage regional tourism and engagement with the work of these artists in an exciting way. New audiences ranged from school students to interstate travellers, ultimately building connections for these artists across a range of networks.

23/09/2026

The 2026 winner of the SALA in Lights Award is: Sally Parnis!

The judges were impressed by the style of Sally’s work, which is a form of digital painting. They found that the works held an inviting atmosphere and felt that this work is the perfect choice to expand onto a larger canvas in 2027 and bring to audiences across the state.
This award is sponsored by Foodland & Novatech Creative Event Technology
