Adelaide Arts and Entertainment Venues Launch July Exhibitions and Shows

The JamFactory on 19 Morphett Street opens its new exhibition today featuring ceramic and textile works by 12 local makers.

July draws more people indoors for cultural outings after cooler nights reduce outdoor events across the Adelaide parklands.

Visitors often combine a stop at the JamFactory with the Art Gallery of South Australia on North Terrace, where a rotating display of contemporary prints continues until 28 August. Both sites lie inside the central business district and accept the same multi-venue day pass.

Key Dates and Figures

Arts South Australia recorded 184,000 visits to city exhibitions and performances in the first six months of 2026, up from 151,000 in the same period last year. Adult entry at the JamFactory starts at $18, while the gallery on North Terrace charges no general admission fee.

The Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Port Road begins a four-week run of a new cabaret production on 18 July, with evening shows priced from $45.

Getting There and Planning Ahead

Trams stop directly outside both the JamFactory and the Art Gallery, and free parking operates after 6pm on nearby streets in the East End. Advance tickets for the Entertainment Centre show can be purchased online or at the box office on Hindley Street.

Check venue websites for updated opening hours before travel, as several sites close early on Mondays.
