Arts Collective Clare Valley

Art lovers, here is a unique opportunity to spend a day with local artists exploring the Clare Valley and some of the fabulous SALA experiences available.
On Tuesday, 11th of August, members of Arts Collective Clare Valley will be going on our annual SALA Road trip, and this itinerary is too good not to share.
It will be a self drive day out, carpooling encouraged. Meeting at Clare ArtHouse at 9am, it will be a full day of art and fun.
We will have exclusive access to some venues, meetings with artists, and behind the scenes experiences.
If you would like to join us, send a message or call Alex on 0418 723 993. Numbers will be needed for some venues.
If you are unable to come that day, we urge you to grab a SALA guide and plan your own tour. The ArtHouse is an ideal place to start as we have free all day parking behind our gallery.
Happy SALA everyone.
