Special Interest Group Tours
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) visit for 1 hour tours each month from February to November. Each SIG is scheduled to visit on the same day/time each month (e.g. the first Monday of the month at 11am). Tours are rescheduled if they fall on a public holiday.
Tour topics change each month subject to AGSA's exhibitions and displays.
Guide fees are:
- $20 for a maximum of 10 tour participants (1 guide allocated)
- $30 for a maximum of 15 tour participants (2 guides allocated)
- $40 for a maximum of 20 tour participants (2 guides allocated)
Process guide fee payments here >
Special Interest Groups also attend AGSA's ticketed exhibitions (usually once/year). In this instance each SIG member is required to purchase an exhibition ticket and the guide fee for the tour is waived.
Special Interest Group tour participants are to gather and meet the allocated guide/s at the Atrium Desk for the commencement of each tour (***unless otherwise advised). Refer to the AGSA Gallery Map for details (Map 2, identified with a C).
Please contact guideSIG@artgallery.sa.gov.au with any questions.
Future scheduled tour topics are:
July 2022
Pure Form: Japanese sculptural ceramics
***Please meet guide/s in Gallery 20
August 2022
Archie 100: A Century of the Archibald Prize
and Robert Wilson: Moving Portraits
***Please meet guide/s in Gallery 25, at the entry to the Archie 100 exhibition
Guide tour fees are waived for this month. The scheduled tour will focus on the Archie 100 exhibition, with a short introduction to the Robert Wilson: Moving Portraits exhibition.
We encourage all tour participants to purchase tickets online in advance of the visit, and to take advantage of the group ticket offer (Group of 8+ = $18/person). Tickets can also be purchased at AGSA on the day, please arrive early to ensure tickets are organised before tour start time.
The same ticket can be used for both exhibitions. Group participants are encouraged to view the Robert Wilson: Moving Portraits exhibition either on the same day as the Archie 100 tour, or this exhibition can be visited at another time.
