The South Australian Government has announced a transformative $15 million investment in the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) this week. The announcement comes after last month’s Senate hearings into the South Australian Museum and AGSA (3 March 2025), during which the Gallery presented the economic and social value of major exhibitions, from its homegrown Tarnanthi Festival to blockbuster exhibitions from the Musée D’Orsay in Paris and the Gelman Collection in the US.

This new funding will enable AGSA to more consistently bring major international exhibitions exclusively to Adelaide during the winter seasons of 2026-2029.
