Making Old New: DRG 10th Anniversary
23 May to 1 August 2026 | FREE Exhibition
SA Craft & Design reimagine the Collection
This year, David Roche Gallery celebrates 10 years of opening Fermoy House and David Roche’s remarkable fine and decorative arts collection to audiences nationally and internationally. To mark this milestone, we are proud to present ‘Making Old New: DRG 10th Anniversary’. This exhibition brings together works of art from DRG’s 18th to early 20th-century European and British collection with contemporary responses by 20 South Australian artists associated with the JamFactory. Featuring both established figures and more recent alumni, each artist has selected a piece from the collection as inspiration to create something entirely new. ‘Making Old New: DRG 10th Anniversary’ celebrates Adelaide’s vital role in shaping craft and design in Australia, and the enduring legacy of David Roche–whose passion for exceptional design and craftsmanship continues to inspire future generations.
