Are you the next curator for our iconic Grad Show?
The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition has an established reputation as the showcase exhibition of South Australia’s best emerging artists and shines a spotlight on the top emerging artists from Flinders University and the University of South Australia.
“Working as the 2024 Project Curator has been one of the most influential roles in my career to date. The opportunity to work with an outstanding group of emerging artists, be mentored by Anna Zagala and the Helpmann team and curate the 2024 Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition has been incredibly rewarding and will have a long-lasting impact on the trajectory of my future career as a curator and artist.”

Under the guidance of a curatorial mentor from UniSA Creative, the Project Curator will have the opportunity to develop and broaden their skills to create a cohesive, impactful exhibition of works that speak to different themes and ideas.
