Artworks have long graced the walls at The Louise in the Barossa Valley, and in keeping with those South Australian connections, Hayley Baillie commissioned artist Emma Hack for a series of Barossa-inspired works featuring the region’s narrative and flora and fauna, including body painting and visual art photography. The partnership is the culmination of around 15 years of planning to work together.

The property also has commissioned work from several artists from the Barossa including Janelle Amos and will continue to work with the Adelaide art and creativity hub, The Jam Factory from which The Louise’s former owners The Carrekers had commissioned glass works including from Brendan Scott-French. The Carrekers will continue to sponsor the Jam Factory’s Fuse Art Prize, Australia’s preeminent glass prize in the coming years.
