Join us in Ardrossan for the opening night of the Reef Resilience Photo & Art Exhibition.
Presented by the Great Southern Reef Foundation, this special exhibition celebrates South Australia’s extraordinary marine life, coastal environments, and the stories of people connected to the Great Southern Reef.
Following a statewide call-out over summer, nearly 200 photographers, artists, divers, snorkellers, and ocean lovers submitted works capturing the beauty, resilience, and changing conditions of our coastline. This opening night event brings together a curated selection of award-winning and selected works from across South Australia.
