“The skills of our South Australian artists are world-class, and we get to unleash them in one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions,” Zac said.
“We’re giving them a chance to express their art in a brand-new setting.
“Our creative concepts have been developed for people and spaces that intrigue and inspire us and we hope audiences will feel that connection as well.”
A headline event in the State Government’s new annual spring event collective, Bloom, Barossa Contemporary founders Zac and Ruth will return to their childhood home with one of the largest investment for the arts in the region’s history.
“Zac and I grew up in a region that developed our passion for the arts,” Ruth said.
“The Barossa filled us with support and the self-belief that we actually could achieve our wildest dreams.
“We believe a creatively rich and diverse society inspires innovation.
“Barossa Contemporary is our way of playing a part in building a prosperous future for our arts community, the Barossa and South Australia.”
Unique events and experiences will be held in some of the Barossa’s most stunning attractions.
Hidden gems will be transformed into immersive pop-up spaces created specifically for the Barossa Contemporary preview program.
