About the Event
A Brush with Art
Experience ABWA
A Brush with Art is an immersive regional arts and tourism experience spanning towns, galleries, landscapes and communities throughout the Flinders and Southern Flinders Ranges and the Outback of South Australia.
Running across five weeks each September and October, ABWA invites visitors to travel at their own pace — discovering exhibitions, workshops, open studios, sculpture, murals, local food, heritage, outback landscapes and authentic country hospitality along the way.
More than just an arts event, ABWA is about connection:
connection to place, to people, to creativity and to the unique character of regional South Australia.
