SALA Council Rebate

SALA 2026 Early Bird Fee Rebates – Victor Harbor

To support and grow South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival activity within the City of Victor Harbor, Council is offering full Early Bird registration fee rebates for eligible SALA exhibitions held within the council area.

This initiative is designed to encourage more artists and exhibitions to activate local spaces during SALA, strengthening our cultural life and attracting visitors throughout August.

What’s on offer

Council will provide full Early Bird SALA registration fee rebates, up to the total budget cap of $2,500, for exhibitions presented within the City of Victor Harbor:

$145 rebate for solo artist exhibitions

$260 rebate for small group exhibitions

Rebates apply to registered SALA exhibitions located within the council area, whether or not the exhibiting artists are Victor Harbor residents

Important dates

Early Bird SALA registrations close 7 April 2026 

Early Bird pricing applies to complete registrations submitted before 7 April.

Why participate?

Councils that offer SALA registration rebates consistently see increased exhibition activity, cultural tourism and community engagement
