Diamond Collective

For 60 years, Guildhouse has championed the artists, makers and designers who shape South Australia’s cultural identity.  

The Diamond Collective invites our most committed supporters to play a defining role in this milestone year, supporting the major Guildhouse 60th Anniversary Exhibition, a landmark retrospective honouring six decades of contemporary visual art, craft and design. 

This exhibition is more than a celebration of history. It is an act of recognition: of the artists whose work has defined generations, and of the organisation that has sustained creative practice through advocacy, professional development and fair remuneration. 

Contributions to the Diamond Collective directly enable: 

• Paid exhibition opportunities for artists from across Guildhouse’s 60-year history; the bigger the Collective, the more artists we can showcase!  

• The presentation of a major retrospective showcasing the depth and diversity of South Australian practice 

• High-quality curatorial, production and public programming that reflects Guildhouse’s values of excellence, equity and artist care 

By joining the Diamond Collective, donors ensure this anniversary moment is delivered with integrity, ambition and respect for artists’ labour.
