What’s On: Golf, Port Lincoln Art Prize, Helpmann exhibition

There's plenty to do around the state this weekend with golf, art in Port Lincoln, Fringe in the Barossa and the Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition.

Take a swing

The world’s top female golfers are at the Royal Adelaide Golf Club this weekend for the 2020 ISPS HANDA Women’s Australian Open. One of the greatest players in the sport’s history, South Korea’s Inbee Park, is back to play in Australia for the first time in six years. There will also be plenty of entertainment, with live music daily from 2pm in the Village.

Eyes on the prize

Don’t miss out on the Port Lincoln Art Prize, showing at the Nautilus Arts Centre until Saturday, February 15. There are 74 entries in this year’s exhibition, judged by Guildhouse South Australia CEO Emma Fey. Pictured is last year’s major prize winner, Sally by Emma Fuss.

Work from 27 of the state’s top graduating visual artists from Adelaide College of the Arts (TAFE SA)/Flinders University is on show from 10.30am to 4.30pm daily. Kate Little from Aldgate received $10,000 for winning the Hill Smith Gallery/University of South Australia Postgraduate Award.
