More than 300 guests gathered last week to celebrate the SALIFE Awards, presented by Brand South Australia.
The ceremony began with a Welcome to Country from Harley Hall, a senior Ngarrindjeri and Kokatha man, before continuing with a cocktail party in The Piccadilly’s art deco foyer.
Among the night’s highlights, Elena Carapetis was honoured as South Australian Artist of the Year.

Known for her work as an associate artist, playwright, director, and actor with the State Theatre Company South Australia, Carapetis gained recognition for her sold-out play The Gods of Strangers in 2018.
Carapetis’ debut short film Blame the Rabbit recently won the Grand Jury Prize at the South Australian Screen Awards.
