GATHER: Gathered and Gatherings I Basketry SA Inc. Biennial Exhibition

The basket weavers draw inspiration from many sources, gathering ideas, fibres, and techniques both individually and through group workshops. They create traditional and contemporary basketry, sharing skills and learning from one another, often drawing on diverse ethnic and indigenous methods. Their work spans practical pieces to sculptural forms.

This exhibition celebrates the evolution of basketry in South Australia, inviting visitors to explore their curiosity and the creative spirit of this enduring craft.

Trading Table on Saturday afternoons
In addition to the main Basketry SA Inc. (BSA) exhibition there will be a trading table display on Saturday afternoons (excluding Saturday 25 April as the Centre is closed for ANZAC Day), run by BSA members. Items for the trading table display represent both functional and decorative vessels on a domestic scale with fibres sourced mostly from local gardens. Visitors will have the additional opportunity to purchase directly from the table.

Exhibition Opens: Friday 17 April at 6 pm
Opening Speaker: Dr Kate Delaporte, Curator, Waite Arboretum and Conservation Reserve, Adelaide University
Complimentary drinks and nibbles on arrival.
Exhibition concludes on Friday 22 May at 4 pm.
