Following the departure of inaugural CEO, Liz Nowell, in June 2019, a new dual-leadership structure was created to strengthen our dynamic artistic vision alongside a strong executive leadership as the organisation enters its next stage of growth. Patrice Sharkey was appointed as Artistic Director (following her commencement as Curator with ACE Open in February 2019) and Louise Dunn was appointed as Executive Director. The new leadership team commenced in August 2019 and have therefore worked quickly to finesse their vision for the future in order to accommodate funding Strategic deadlines. They have taken a big picture view of the current strengths and weaknesses of the organisation from both an artistic and business perspective, and Context worked with the Board to map out priorities. Since our inauguration, we have has established a strong foundation with an emphasis on artistic vision and leadership, governance, built infrastructure and a stable financial base. We are supported by government, established an investment fund and continue to build philanthropic donor relationships. We have successfully engaged past AEAF and CACSA audiences, welcomed new audiences, gained critical acclaim for our programs, and developed key partnerships and networks. This new plan builds on the successes of the last three years and is a blueprint for the next five years. During this time we will continue to progress through consultation with our stakeholders, evaluate our progress and review our goals. ACE Open Strategic Plan 2020-2024 5 Strategic Context cont. History ACE Open has a long and short history: the organisation was established in 2017 after the Australian Experimental Art Foundation (AEAF) and the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia (CACSA) lost funding from the Australia Council for the Arts. It was decided to combine resources and create one flagship organisation in South Australia that builds on the 116-year history of its predecessors. ACE Open honours the ambitions “ACE Open is a great 2017 and intent of these two pioneering organisations through a commitment to story of resilience and fresh experimental art and support of contemporary artists. thinking. Adelaide’s newest contemporary art organisation has risen from the ashes…” ACE Open is now the only publicly funded, independent contemporary art space in South Australia. We have quickly established a prominent Gina Fairley, ArtsHub, place in the visual arts sector and are strongly backed by government, December 2017 receiving financial support from State and Federal sources throughArts SA and the Visual Arts and Crafts Strategy.

Declining levels of Federal arts funding over the past decade, combined with decreases in State arts funding over the same period and the dismantling of Arts SA under the Key Issues new State Government, has reduced levels of government support in the art sector. While the appointment of the South Australian State Premier as Minister for the Arts Local Context suggests new opportunities to make directive decisions in Government, the newly As the only institution of its kind in South Australia, ACE Open carries a released State cultural plan is limited in scope and has no commitments to increased multitude of responsibilities to its immediate community of artists and arts investment.

The Adelaide Festival was at the forefront of this transformation; since its launch in 1960 they have been showcasing diverse shows from all around the world. In 1974 the Fringe released its first Souvenir Programme, beginning its evolution into what is now the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, both go from strength to strength. The Arts bring us together, and help to create and celebrate our diversity. When we offer access to art in all its forms, we improve the quality of life for everyone in our community.

  • Leading Australian Artist Sally Smart to Present World Premiere of Installation the Violet Ballet at Adelaide Festival 2019
    Media Release For immediate release, Wednesday 31 October 2018 Leading Australian artist Sally Smart to present world premiere of installation The Violet Ballet at Adelaide Festival 2019 Adelaide contemporary art gallery ACE Open will premiere leading Australian artist Sally Smart’s installation, The Violet Ballet, as part of the 2019 Adelaide Festival from 2 March – 27 April, 2019. Widely known for her large-scale assemblage installations, South Australian-born Smart has amassed a significant international career over more than three decades. Her accolades include major exhibitions in New York, Singapore, Jakarta and across Australia, as well as a 2017 collaboration with luxury Italian fashion house, Marni. The Violet Ballet continues Smart’s investigation into avant-garde dance company the Ballets Russes, and their experimental choreography, costume and theatre design. In an immersive and layered installation constructed from textile curtains, costumes, projection, puppetry, shadowplay and dance-on- film, Smart re-imagines one of the Ballet’s most macabre and visually complex works, Chout (Tale of the Buffoon). Through her research and the resulting installation, the artist draws parallels to the Indonesian Wayang character Punokawan (the clown), to examine ideas of identity politics, cultural hybridity, the historical and contemporary avant-gardes entwined legacies of colonialsm and orientalism. As part of the re-staging of Chout in the film component of the work, Smart has collaborated with the writer Maria Tumarkin to create spoken and sung word, with operatic vocals performed by Billie Tumarkin, along with choreography and performance by dancer Brooke Stamp. Billie Tumarkin and Brooke Stamp will also perform live as part of the exhibition’s free opening celebration on Saturday 2 March from 5pm.

This program facilitates exclusive opportunities for professional development, exchanging knowledge, and building industry connections. PROGRAM SCHEDULE All programs take place in the ACE Open Front Room or Lion Arts Centre Courtyard. 11:00 am Arrivals & Refreshments 11:15 am Acknowledgement of Country & Introductions: Bernadette Klavins (Co-Director, FELTspace, Adelaide) KEYNOTE: Rayleen Forester (FELTspace founding member, Founder and Co-Editor of fine print magazine) 11:30 am PANEL: Sustaining Practices How do artforms, value structures and power systems interrelate to create the type of sector we encounter locally and nationally?
