South Australia’s newest Art Gallery opens in July 2026 and in celebration of this monumental occasion I’m offering art enthusiasts A DAY AT THE CEDARS. Over the 5 hours we will be given a guided tour of Hans Heysen’s House, Studio and the NEW (fire resistant) ART GALLERY. Following this is an indoor 1.5 hour Sketching Workshop where we will explore in depth the wonders of our Australian Gum Tree.
