friends sasa publications
In the years since it was first formed, the Friends SASA has produced a number of publications. These have been produced not only to coincide with fund-raising events, but also to complement and extend our knowledge of the various individuals who have made significant contributions to the work of the School of Art as well as to the South Australian arts community.

A WHITE GLOVE EVENT
A White Glove Event was a fund-raising event held at the Art Gallery of South Australia on 27 October, 2010. This event was facilitated by AGSA Curator of Maria Zagala, Associate Curator, Prints, Drawings & Photographs; Dr Pamela Zeplin, Portfolio Leader, Research, UniSA, and Dr Jenny Aland, Adjunct Research Fellow, UniSA.
A White Glove Event, provided a unique opportunity for participants to view at first hand a wide selection of works on paper by staff and students of the South Australian School of Art (in its various incarnations). These works were created during the School’s first hundred years from 1861 on North Terrace to the early 1960s when the school was on the brink of moving to its Stanley Street North Adelaide campus in July 1963. The event formed part of the broader South Australian School of Art History Project to focus on works that are held among the Art Gallery of South Australia’s magnificent collection of Australian prints, drawings and photographs.
