Sandy Verschoor is the new general manager of the Adelaide Fringe, where she joins new Artistic Director Christie Anthoney. Verschoor was recently associate director and marketing/ development director of Arts Projects Australia, which runs festivals and arts events as Womadelaide, the Adelaide Film Festival and the Australian International Documentary Conference. Funnily enough, Anthoney is also a former staffer at APA.
A new exhibition of art at the Art Gallery Of SA is entitled 'The Most Delightful Thing on Earth' - it's the art Of Gladys Reynell, a South Australian potter. She was South Australia's first studio potter and a member of South Australia's famous Reynella wine-making family, who began her artistic career as a painter under the guidance of Margaret Preston, who became a lifelong friend. Together the two artists travelled to Europe and returned to Australia consumed with a Modernist aesthetic, inspiring Reynell to create innovative and distinctive earthenware with abstract designs and Australian flora and fauna.
The State Theatre Company of South Australia seems to have done rather well in nominations for the well respected Helpmann Awards, which will be announced in Sydney at the end of this month. In particular, State Theatre's 'The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?' from the 2005 programme picked up nominations for Best Play, Best Director (Marion Potts), Best Female Actor (Victoria Longley), Best Male Actor Support (Cameron Goodall). In Best Female Actor Support the nomination went to Michaela Cantwell in another State Theatre play, Martin Laud-Gray's 'Honk If You Are Jesus'. Congratulations and best of luck to all nominees, eh?
Taking a fresh look at two popular stories, the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood, Splash Theatre Company's July school holidays season of 'What Big Teeth You Have!' is a wolf's eye view of these much-loved fairytales. This is a highly entertaining and funny piece of theatre suitable for 5 to 12 year olds, and performs from Tues 11 July at various venues around the city and suburbs.

The Art Gallery of South Australia is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Maria Zagala as its new Associate Curator of Prints, Drawings & Photographs. Ms Zagala has previously been Assistant Curator of Prints & Drawings at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, a position she has held since 1998.

The Kovacevich residency will begin with Classical Masters 1 on Fri 7 July, and Classical Masters 2 will conclude his exclusive Adelaide engagements the following week from Thurs 13 July. All concerts will be held at Adelaide Town Hall.
