The arts are regarded as one of South Australia's strengths. The state enjoys an impressive reputation for creative achievement and vibrant artistic activities.

South Australian artists continue to succeed nationally and internationally, in diverse fields such as visual arts, writing, film-making, music and dance.

Known as 'the festival state', Adelaide and regional centres host approximately five hundred festivals and special events each year. These range from the multi-arts Adelaide Festival of Arts and Adelaide Fringe, to the Barossa Vintage Festival, Kernewek Lowender, and Coober Pedy Opal Festival.
