Our role as storytellers is to create experiences for our audiences that are exciting, meaningful and memorable, while still respecting the tradition and history of the Gallery. From the cutting edge of global contemporary art to historic European, Asian and Australian art, our 2015–16 program engaged with the public like never before. As a result we experienced an upward trend in our visitor numbers – an incredible achievement in the ever-evolving business of museums.
Our highlights included the 2016 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, which enchanted audiences across five locations in an unprecedented expansion of the exhibition. The city-wide event transformed Adelaide, doubling the 2014 event attendances. Well received by audiences in South Australia and Western Australia, the ambitious Treasure Ships: Art of the Age of Spices presented spectacular art produced for global markets in the era of the spice trade, dating from the fifteenth to early nineteenth centuries.
TARNANTHI: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art was the largest Aboriginal visual art event ever staged in South Australia, bringing Aboriginal art and culture to the forefront. A critical success, TARNANTHI showcased over a thousand artists across the Gallery, and received the highest number of visitors for a free exhibition in the Gallery’s history.
The Board and Executive Team continue to work towards the long term goals of the 2015–2020 Strategic Plan, most notably engaging with stakeholders to develop a business case for a second site proposal, giving the Gallery greater capacity to showcase our collection of works currently in storage.
Making art accessible is a task made possible through the generosity of our supporters, benefactors, volunteers and friends. I would like to extend a warm thank you to our Board, led by Chair Tracey Whiting, as well as Gallery staff for their infinite ingenuity and enthusiasm in presenting outstanding programs and exhibitions.
2015–16 has been an incredible year of growth, and I look forward to taking the Gallery further in the years to come.
Nick Mitzevich DIRECTOR
DIRECTOR’S REPORT
2015–16 has been
an incredible year
of growth, and I look
forward to taking
the Gallery further
in the years to come.
Looking back on the 2015–16 year, it is gratifying to pause and reflect on the incredible achievements of the Art Gallery of South Australia. Breaking attendance records, diversifying its audience and bringing art to life, the Gallery has continued to build its reputation as one of the most relevant and vibrant contributors to the State.
Holding four major temporary exhibitions as well as thir ty-six collection displays over the past year, the Gallery has become a space that not only educates and inspires, but creates stimulating experiences through its innovative public programming and curatorial approach. Attracting people from all walks of life, the Gallery’s strategic focus has been to expand its teenage and family offerings. Engaging with this important segment has been incredibly successful, with more than 50,000 patrons attending The Studio, First Fridays, Neo and START collectively, with many visiting for the first time.
Almost 780,000 visitors visited the Art Gallery in 2015–16, increasing attendances by 31% from the previous year and endorsing South Australia’s reputation as a key cultural destination.
Through its exhibition program the Gallery had a real presence across the state, from the ever-expanding Adelaide Biennial to the record-breaking TARNANTHI.
Private giving, philanthropy and sponsorship continue to play a pivotal role in the Gallery’s self-sustainability plan. A huge thank you to the Contemporary Collectors chaired by Jane Yuile, the Foundation chaired by Andrew Gwinnett, to Gallery Members, partners and donors. Through gift-giving and fundraising, as well as corporate philanthropy, the Gallery has received funding that has supported the acquisition of new work; enabled accessibility with free exhibitions, events and programs; assisted with the general care of the collection and enabled us to deliver original exhibitions and publications.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate the dynamic leadership of Director Nick Mitzevich, Deputy Director Mark Horton and Assistant Director, Artistic Programs Lisa Slade, as well as the entire staff who have played an essential role in delivering an outstanding year.

PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVESThe Art Gallery of South Australia’s objectives and functions are effectively prescribed by the Art Gallery Act 1939 and can be summarised as the preservation, research and communication associated with heritage and contemporary works of art of aesthetic excellence and historical or regional significance.
MISSIONTo serve the South Australian and wider communities by providing access to original works of art of the highest quality. Through the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions, publications, education and public programs, the Gallery seeks to become part of the daily life of Australians – to champion art, artists and ideas.
VISIONTo be a leading art museum in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region that:
• is highly respected for the quality and display of its collection, exhibitions, programs, interpretation and research;
• engages South Australians from all walks of life in the visual arts;
• enlivens and enriches the cultural dimension of the city and the state; and
• is a major attraction for interstate and international visitors to South Australia.
GOVERNMENT OBJECTIVESIn addition, the Art Gallery plays a significant role in delivering specific elements of the South Australian Government’s seven strategic priorities:
CREATING A VIBRANT CITYCreating an eclectic and exciting artistic program which attracts local and interstate visitors to the North Terrace precinct, greatly increasing the numbers of people in the city while bringing vibrancy to the city streets. This in turn will enhance the city’s atmospheric appeal and build upon the South Australian brand.
EVERY CHANCE FOR EVERY CHILDLearning and children’s programs are at the core of the Art Gallery’s artistic program, as it is recognised that building a lifelong love of the visual arts provides a framework for children to think creatively.

OVERVIEW 2015 –2016This year saw the implementation of the Art Gallery of South Australia Strategic Plan 2015-20. Over the next five years the Gallery plans to:
• Advocate for support of the Gallery’s much needed expansion and development. The Gallery’s long history of benefaction and collection development has carved out a niche in the national landscape, however the challenge ahead is to secure the future care of and presentation opportunities for the collection. For many decades growing the collection has been the prevailing focus and the Gallery’s resources have been directed towards this end. Now the time has come to activate the collection in the fullest sense and this can only be achieved by caring adequately for the collection – ensuring its access and preservation.
• Extend its signature innovative curatorial approaches on North Terrace where the past and the present are in dialogue with each other physically, thematically and conceptually, into the Gallery’s exhibition and collection displays, learning and public programs. The Gallery also plans to engage a global audience through dynamic online learning experiences of the Gallery’s collection and exhibitions.
• Undertake projects that reflect the Gallery’s unique position in Australia on the edge of the desert and in close proximity to Aboriginal Australia. The Gallery plans to increase the prominence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, South Australian artists, arts professionals and audiences in all of its activities.
• Create experiences for the Gallery’s visitors that are formal but friendly – experiences that reflect the identity of the city, which is compact, eccentric and agile and yet has a respect for tradition and history. The Gallery plans to embed its creative artistic program in the fabric of the city by co-programming with state festivals and events to nurture a broad understanding of, and passion for, art.
• Secure sustainable growth by increasing the Gallery’s financial capacity through the refocusing of resources for the development of its online capacity, commercial operations, benefaction and membership.
Key projects for the past twelve months have included:• The commencement of a new digital strategy,
including scoping the Gallery’s new digital platform with a project delivery horizon of 2018.
• Advancement and elevation of the Gallery’s hallmark project, the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art by expanding the presence of the Biennial across the city.
• Presentation of and focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art across all facets of the Gallery’s program, including the inaugural presentation of TARNANTHI.
• Business case development for a second site proposal to effectively resolve storage, expand education opportunity and increase collection display.
The Gallery’s key performance in 2015–16 under the Strategic Plan priorities for 2015–20 are as follows:
1 Present a dynamic, unique and eclectic artistic program that builds the collection and places the Gallery at the forefront of the nation’s art museums.
1.1 Temporary exhibitions: Four major temporary exhibitions were presented from primary research at the Gallery: Treasure Ships: Art in the Age of Spices; TARNANTHI: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art; Riverland: Yvonne Koolmatrie; and the 2016 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Magic Object. (SASP Target 4: Tourism industry; SASP Target 99: Cultural engagement – institutions; SASP Target 3 Cultural vibrancy – arts activities).
1.2 Collection displays: With a strong emphasis on activating a dynamic collection display program, thirty-six collection and special project displays were staged at the Gallery. (SASP Target 4: Tourism industry;

SASP Target 3: Cultural engagement – institutions; SASP Target 3: Cultural vibrancy – arts activities).
1.3 Publications and research: The Gallery produced the following publications: Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art ; TARNANTHI: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art; Riverland: Yvonne Koolmatrie; Robert Hannaford ; and four editions of Articulate. (SASP Target 99: Cultural engagement – institutions; SASP Target 3: Cultural vibrancy – arts activities).
1.4 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: In 2016 the Adelaide Biennial was expanded to a city-wide event with five venues, defining it as a national signature visual arts event. The expansion of the program was facilitated by a national ambassadors program supporting the increase in its scale. The total attendance figure was 220,433, which represents a 100% increase in visitor numbers since 2014.
1.5 Aboriginal engagement: The Gallery’s commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programming was significantly enhanced with a $4 million grant from BHP Billiton to present a festival of contemporary Aboriginal art which included 22 partners across the State with a total attendance figure of 311,063. This project developed a greater focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content across the whole artistic program of the Gallery and to date is the most successful exhibition ever undertaken.
1.6 Collection development: The Gallery continued to build the collection across all collecting areas with 336 works acquired. Highlights included a significant collection of Aboriginal contemporary art, major works by Dorrit Black, Joy Hester, Arthur Streeton, Sean Scully, a major collection of Indonesian ceramics, and a group of works acquired through the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. (SASP Target 4: Tourism industry; SASP Target 99: Cultural engagement – institutions; SASP Target 27: Understanding of Aboriginal culture; SASP Target 6: Aboriginal wellbeing).
1.7 Gifts and purchases: The total value of gifts and purchases this year was $8,789,983.
1.8 Provenance: Following the introduction of the Gallery’s Due Diligence and Provenance Policy, work continues on improving the Gallery’s provenance history. The Gallery’s website now displays works which have incomplete information and more detail is being sought. This includes works in the Asian and European collections. Further research has been undertaken in preparation for field research in India by the Curator of Asian Art in late 2016.
2 Inspire new audiences and nurture audience loyalty to develop a broad demographic profile including children and families and generate lifelong relationships with the Art Gallery.
2.1 Attendances: 788,453 people visited the Gallery to see the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, an increase from 756,846 visitors in the last financial year. This total increased to 1,049,205 people with the inclusion of off-site exhibitions. This is a 31% increase over the last financial year and continues the upward trend in visitor numbers. (SASP Target 4: Tourism industry; SASP Target 99: Cultural engagement – institutions).
It’s a tour-de-force for the undervalued Australian art scene, and a reminder of one of the reasons we go to art galleries: to experience a sense of wonder.

2.6 Teen engagement: Following significant growth with children’s programs, this year the Gallery initiated a new program targeting 13–17 year olds. This inaugural program, supported by the Balnaves Foundation, aims to grow audiences in this age bracket and follows the success of The Studio and START to nurture life-long learning and engagement with the Gallery.
3 Enrich the cultural life of all South Australians and promote art appreciation, cultural understanding and economic growth.
3.1 Cultural partnerships: To ensure the Gallery is connected to state-wide events to enhance audience development, the Gallery undertook seven cultural partnerships which was a 50% increase on the previous year. These included the South Australian Living Artists Festival, OzAsia Festival, Adelaide Film Festival, Adelaide Fashion Festival, Feast Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival and Adelaide Festival of Arts.
3.2 Off-site projects: To expand the Gallery’s reach, 22 projects were undertaken through TARNANTHI with a total of 241,083 people attending these exhibitions. This is a dramatic increase from 22,399 the previous year.
4 Nurture collective achievement by building new partnerships, growing existing relationships and strengthening membership.
4.1 Private giving: New strategies to expand the Gallery’s patrons program were initiated, both diversifying specific giving and nurturing giving from across the country. This has resulted in a significant increase in private giving with $10.3m received in this financial year. The total amount raised through private giving and corporate philanthropy was $11.9m.
4.2 National Biennial Ambassadors program: To reflect the true nature of the Adelaide Biennial an Ambassadors program was expanded to attract national supporters. For the 2016 event, 41 donors from throughout Australia were nurtured, raising $333,750.
4.3 Corporate philanthropy: The Gallery continued to advance its relationships with over 30 organisations (including private foundations) supporting the Gallery’s operation through the provision of cash, product and/or media support, brokered in a combination of multi-year, annual or project-specific arrangements. Corporate sponsorship, private foundation and other grant revenue received in the 2015–16 financial year totalled $1.6m, with a further $2.6m committed during the year for future funding. This figure excludes the project grant for TARNANTHI.
TARNANTHI may be our most important Indigenous Festival yet.

4.4 TARNANTHI partnership: A special project grant was also received from BHP Billiton, which partnered with the Government of South Australia and the Gallery to present, for the first time, TARNANTHI, a contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Visual Arts Festival. This extraordinary support of $4m over two years involved 25 collaborators and over 1,068 artists from across Australia.
4.5 Education and family program partners: Support from The Balnaves Foundation and the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation enabled the ongoing delivery of Gallery programs The Studio (all-age activity space), START (kids and family programs), and Neo (designated teens program). This critical support enabled more than 100,000 people to access these programs free of charge and facilitated involvement by a large proportion of first-time visitors.
4.6 Appeals: The expansion of the artistic program has been primarily driven by the diversification and growth of private philanthropy support for projects through both the Foundation and Contemporary Collectors groups. During the year the Foundation supported Treasure Ships: Art in the Age of Spices exhibition with a major appeal and Contemporary Collectors facilitated the acquisition of Fiona Hall’s sculptural installation, All the King’s Men.
4.7 Membership: Building membership by developing targeted programs that extend into new and different audiences and encourage online interaction.
5 Deliver financial sustainability to create a strong fiscal foundation for the Art Gallery.
5.1 Commercial review: A review and analysis of the Gallery’s retail activities was undertaken and a plan to develop the retail revenue potential was accepted for implementation in the 2016–17 financial year.
5.2 Digital strategy: A grant of $300,000 over three years from the Ian Potter Foundation has facilitated the development of a new digital strategy to build business capacity in e-commerce, collection accessibility, and
other web-based functions. This project will be fully realised in the 2018–19 year.
6 Achieve efficient and purposeful implementation of administrative processes to ensure the safe and smooth management of the Art Gallery.
6.1 Audit processes: The Gallery’s Audit Committee focuses on the assessment and adequacy of the Gallery’s administrative internal controls and also functions as the primary committee that considers the annual interim audit conducted by the Auditor-General’s Department. A major achievement during the year was the completion of the Gallery’s comprehensive Risk Register, which identifies the full spectrum of risks that impact or could potentially impact the institution.
6.2 Masterplan Business Case: A preliminary Business Case for the long-term collection storage and building infrastructure needs of the Gallery was completed. A $500,000 State Government grant has been awarded to progress the Business Case.
6.3 Volunteer workforce: An extremely valuable support is the work of the Gallery’s 261 volunteers, undertaking Front of House, Library, Public Programs, Education, Curatorial, and Gallery Guide services. (SASP Target 24: Volunteering).
6.4 Safe workplace: The Gallery continued to implement Workplace Health and Safety policies and Systems and make improvements as necessary with no major incidents in the past year. (SASP Target 21: Greater safety at work).

ARTISTIC PROGRAMSEXHIBITIONSThe Art Gallery of South Australia delivers an eclectic program of exhibitions, collection based displays and special projects each year. This year the Gallery held 26 collection and special project displays and presented 4 major exhibitions. A total visitation of 788,453 was achieved between July 2015 and June 2016.
UNDERPINNING THE PROGRAM IS A COMMITMENT TO:• Generating greater awareness and increasing the presence and profile of South
Australian art and artists;
• Increasing the display and presence of Aboriginal art in the collection displays and exhibitions;
• Activating the collection using a curatorial signature that employs a combination of chronological, thematic and pan-historical approaches;
• Developing national and international partnerships to create unique experiences for audiences; and
• Embedding the Gallery’s artistic program in the fabric of the city by participating in major events including Festivals.
PUBLIC PROGRAMSPublic Programs serve to enhance and expand the experiences of the artistic program – to bring the audience closer to the art and the artists. This year, a range of approaches has been developed to generate an ongoing conversation between the audience, the collection, displays and exhibitions. These included:
• Daily collection and exhibition tours for the general public presented by Gallery Guides;
• Curated tours for special groups and students;
• Demonstrations, workshops and other hands on activities;
• Talks presented by artists and curators;
• In conversation style presentations involving artists, art historians and curators;
• Extended hours programs including First Fridays that offer art and entertainment;
• Discrete offerings for teens through the Neo program, supported by the Balnaves Foundation;
• START monthly family events supported by the James and Diana Ramsay Foundation; and
• Year round access to art making linked to exhibitions and the collection in The Studio, presented by the James and Diana Ramsay Foundation.
VOLUNTEERSThe Art Gallery values the contribution of its many volunteers who provide a variety of services to visitors and staff in the areas of guiding, education, public programs including children and families, front of house visitor services, curatorial research, library services, registration and administration. For the year ending 2015–2016, the Art Gallery was supported by 261 registered volunteers.
On Tuesday 1 December 2015, in recognition of the valuable contribution made throughout the year by all volunteers, the Gallery hosted the annual end of year celebration. The Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to long serving Gallery Guide, Lorraine Franzin, for her exceptional commitment and service to the Gallery. Recipients of Volunteer Excellence Certificates were Faye Duncan, Anne Keast, Anne Marcon, Lucy MacDonald, Annette Masters, Claudia Saade and Kyoko Schultz. The Face of the Gallery award was presented to Front of House volunteer, Skye Bennett, for outstanding customer service. A special award was presented to the Gallery Guides for their exceptional efforts in presenting the National AAGGO Conference in October 2015.
As part of the ongoing process to ensure excellence in service amongst AGSA volunteers, all volunteers receive orientation, relevant training and sign a Volunteer Agreement to confirm their understanding and awareness of the Gallery’s expectations in terms of appropriate behaviours relating to personal conduct. All volunteers and interns are also required to provide a current and satisfactory National Police Certificate or equivalent.
Based on an average contribution of three hours of service each week, Art Gallery volunteers have provided over 40,000 hours of service to the Gallery over the past 12 months.
FRONT OF HOUSEVisitor services to the Art Gallery continue to be provided by a team of Front of House volunteers numbering 118. These volunteers staff the Visitor Desk at the main entrance in the Vestibule and the Information Desk in the Santos Atrium, welcoming visitors and promoting the Gallery, selling exhibition tickets and memberships, receiving school groups and providing information to the general public 364 days of the year as well as providing a reception and telephone service for visitors and staff on weekdays.
Throughout the year, Front of House volunteers filled over 4,000 shifts and handled over 75,000 enquiries.

LEARNING AT THE GALLERYThe Learning at the Gallery program is the result of a partnership between the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Department for Education and Child Development (DECD). It is part of Outreach Education (OE), a team of DECD educators based in major South Australian public organisations. Their role is to bring together learner needs, curriculum, and best practice pedagogy with the expertise, collections and events at their organisations to create exciting learning experiences for Foundation to Year 12 (F–12) children, students and educators.
Gallery-based DECD Education Manager, Mark Fischer, planned, coordinated and delivered a range of learning programs in the period under review supported by AGSA Education Support Officer Ryan Sims (full-time, July 2015–June 2016), AGSA Education Support Officer Karina Morgan (part-time, July–December 2015), and Acting AGSA Education Support Officer Kelly Day (part-time, May 2016).
Mark Fischer participated in The South Australian Collaborative Childhood Project, conducting research relating to the Re-imagining Childhood: The inspiration of Reggio Emilia education principles in South Australia report. The early years Me, Myself, I program facilitators, Amanda Nichols and Judith Sweetman participated in this project. This was preceded in 2015 by the Time to Connect student inquiry project with Rose Park Primary School educators, which observed repeat visitation by a group of children.
Ryan Sims planned learning and public programs, undertook curriculum research, coordinated the Pilbili project, coordinated education resource development and design, developed The Studio activity space content and designs, and facilitated The Studio workshops in his additional role as Education Coordinator for TARNANTHI: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art (part-time, July–December 2015).
The volunteer Gallery Guides were supported and coordinated to make links to the Australian Curriculum and the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) by the DECD Education Manager, and the AGSA Education Support Officers, to maximise face-to-face learning opportunities for children and young people visiting the Art Gallery.
The Australian Curriculum (AC) from Foundation (F - the year of schooling prior to Year 1) to Year 10, has impacted the design and delivery of learning area programs developed to suit the needs of schools and early childhood services. Learning areas supported by Learning at the Gallery included Visual Arts, Design, Humanities and Social Sciences (History, Geography, Civics and Citizenships), Science, English and Languages.
GRADUATE STUDIES IN ART HISTORYPostgraduate Programs in Art History and Curatorial and Museum Studies have been offered jointly with the Art Gallery of South Australia since 2001. This program of co-teaching postgraduate degree programs, developed by an Art Gallery and a University together, is unique in Australia. Developed and delivered jointly by the University of Adelaide and the Art Gallery of South Australia, the program enables students to study the collections of the Gallery, taught by curatorial and academic staff at both institutions and by national experts. On-campus classes at the University are combined with workshops at the Art Gallery.
A 20 day internship during semester two for Curatorial and Museum Studies students is a dynamic and professionally productive component of this innovative course. A large number of graduates from the program have found work in galleries and museums following their internships, and graduates have built careers in public and commercial galleries in curatorship, marketing and communications, public programs and education as well as in the auction industry and arts journalism.

CHARTER AND GOALS OF THE ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
To enable the South Australian and wider community to directly experience high-quality works of visual art; to ensure that the experience is enlivening and enriching; and to demonstrate that a significant expression of South Australian life can be experienced in South Australian works of art.
GOALSCOLLECTIONThe Gallery will identify and hold historically important works of art of aesthetic excellence and of regional significance in accordance with the Gallery’s collections policies. Works on loan to the Gallery’s collections will also be subject to those policies.
PRESERVATIONThe Gallery will ensure the preservation and conservation of its collections by maintaining them in standard environmentally controlled conditions, by handling them safely and by ensuring their security at all times. The Gallery should stabilise or restore deteriorating or damaged works in its collections. Works temporarily in the Gallery’s custody will receive the same environmental safeguards, safe handling and security as works in the Gallery’s collections.
DOCUMENTATIONThe Gallery will fully document its collections with a central catalogue system that includes complete visual as well as written records. Undocumented works temporarily in the Gallery’s custody will also receive written and visual documentation.
RESEARCHThe Gallery will research and evaluate its collections (and related material) so that the collections’ display, interpretation and promotion are carried out with integrity. The Gallery should make its collections and associated documentation accessible to others for the purposes of research.
Ambassadors Program was launched for its second iteration, in association with the 2016 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Magic Object. The Biennial Ambassadors Program is a fundraising initiative supporting the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, with donations directed towards commissioning works of art and developing public programs for the exhibition. In 2016, the Program raised $333,750. A further $163,000 was raised to support the acquisition of works of art from the Biennial.
In the reporting period, members of Contemporary Collectors were offered 20 events and tours that included social, educational and travel opportunities, giving members unique engagement with contemporary art and artists.
Following the appointment of Jane Yuile as Chair of Contemporary Collectors, several sub-committees were established to strategically develop specific aspects of Contemporary Collectors. The sub-committees and their membership include:
Biennial Anna Davison, Candy Bennett, Stephanie Grose
Membership Strategy Cherise Conrick, Marc Allgrove, Pia Tsoutouras
Social Eli Zaikos-Ridley, Mark Van Tenac
Tours Candy Bennett, Silvana Rositano, Zoe Elvish, Thelma Taliangis
MEMBERSHIPMembership at the Art Gallery has continued to grow again this year due to various new member promotions, including three additional months of membership for free and a complimentary Robert Hannaford catalogue during exhibition season.
In the 2015–16 financial year Membership raised $191,018 income from membership subscriptions and events. At 30 June 2016 there were 3,168 Members. Thirty three Members’ events were held during the reporting period including the monthly Guide to the Gallery, Book Club and New Members’ Welcome Tours.
AGSA Research Library acquisitions were boosted by donations from Ray Choate, the retiring University Librarian, University of Adelaide, who had a substantial private library which included many art books, a reflection of his early years as an art librarian.
A large number of books from James Mollison, the inaugural Director of the National Gallery of Australia, also found their way to us, via the Art Gallery of New South Wales Research Library. The subject coverage revealed the remarkable breadth and depth of his book collecting and scholarship.
The Library was also given many books from the estate of Gallery Guide, Jenni Scrymgour, through her daughter Trudi.

DISPLAYThe Gallery will display its collections and program its temporary exhibitions in ways which enhance appreciation of the collections; displays should provide pleasure and education by being visually pleasing as well as appropriate for the particular public for whom they are intended; displays will be devised for the special interests of the specialist visual arts community as well as for the general public. Temporary exhibitions should be programmed to provide displays of works of art belonging to categories poorly represented in South Australia’s collections. The Gallery will provide accurate and intelligible labels for works on display. Within normal security and conservation constraints, and provided there is clear public benefit, the Gallery should make works from its collections available for display elsewhere.
INTERPRETATIONThe Gallery will provide easily accessible interpretative information about the collection displays and the temporary exhibitions in the form of signs and wall texts as well as public programs of publications, films, lectures, seminars and the services of Education Officers, Gallery Guides and other communicators. Interpretative services will be provided at various levels relevant to the Gallery’s various publics, from the specialist visual arts community to the least informed members of the general public.
PROMOTIONThe Gallery will promote its collections and temporary exhibitions, will promote in the community an awareness of art museum functions and of what can be gained from works of art, and should evaluate and act on the public’s needs and responses to the Gallery’s activities.
ADVICEThe Gallery should responsibly exercise its legislative function of advising the South Australian Government on the allocation of South Australian resources to works of art, art collections, art museums and art associations.
REVIEWThe Gallery will frequently evaluate and review its goals and tasks and the effectiveness of their implementation.

Transforming three or four times over the course of the year, in response to our temporary exhibitions, The Studio offered a diverse range of activities. Transformed in response to the exhibition Treasure Ships: Art in the Age of Spices, The Navigator’s Studio focused art activities on the overarching theme of sea voyage, exploration and trade. Visitors to The Navigator’s Studio illustrated their own voyage of discovery; constructed treasure chests; designed a nautical flag and imagined mythical creatures from the deep. In the education workshops delivered to school groups, participants were introduced to botanical illustration.
Reimagined for the inaugural TARNANTHI Festival, The Bush Footy Studio was inspired by the witty and engaging works of exhibiting artists Dinni Kunoth Kemarre and Josie Kunoth Petyarre. Visitors were invited to get a run on the ‘footy field’ and add to the sport spectacle by making their own footballer or fan to adorn The Studio or to design their own sports kit and join the ‘Bush Footy’ Hall of Fame.
For the 2016 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Magic Object the luminescent Magic Object Studio lured art lovers of all ages with activities inspired by the work of exhibiting artist Kate Rohde. Using neon pens, visitors transformed the white wall patterns into hyper-colour which illuminated under the black lights. In addition, visitors also drew intricate curved patterns using the giant spirographs.
Access by the general public (after 2pm daily, when The Studio was not booked for school groups and on weekends) recorded a total 23,782 patrons visiting The Studio to engage in art making.
TOTAL ATTENDANCE 34,311

NEOPresented by The Balnaves Foundation, Neo was the Art Gallery’s new dedicated program to audiences aged 13–17. The inaugural Neo program took place on 4 March, coinciding with the Art Gallery’s First Fridays programming, and included artist-led activity inspired by the work of Adelaide Biennial artist Hiromi Tango.
Two Neo programs were held to 30 June 2016. The first centred on the work in Magic Object and teens were introduced to some of Hiromi’s art making techniques by artist ambassador Celeste Aldahn. The event was held in Galleries 22–25 and set against a backdrop of aerial performances by Jo Nauman-Curren, hula hoop demonstrations and performative hairdressing in which most of the Neo visitors participated. Fifty six teens registered and attended the event from 14 schools across the North, South, East, West, Adelaide City and the Adelaide Hills.
The second Neo, Time Travellers Unite, took place on 6 May and offered a program which sought to ‘unlock the secrets of the Melrose Wing.’ Teens participated in five activities across the Melrose Wing led by Neo Ambassadors and emerging South Australian artists, which introduced them to big moments in art history. The evening included an artist talk by AGSA’s resident Guildhouse artist and Neo Artist Ambassador Kate Kurucz; a performance by Australian Dance Theatre; UV body art inspired by the Baroque period and the work of Adelaide Biennial artist Kate Rohde; a photo booth; creative competitions; and light meals and refreshments. Sixty registered and attended the event, representing 32 schools.
REGIONAL ENGAGEMENTIn August 2015, START hit the road to Whyalla and Port Augusta for the SALA Festival, providing broad access to art and free art-making experiences for children and families in two regional communities that have experienced economic hardship. These workshops provided an opportunity to introduce and trial the activities planned for the forthcoming TARNANTHI.
On Saturday 8 August, at the Middleback Theatre in Whyalla, a total of 71 people participated in the mobile ‘Bush Footy’ Studio. The majority of children and adults had never visited the Art Gallery of South Australia. On Sunday 9 August, START on the Road was held at the Institute Theatre, located within Yarta Purtli, the Port Augusta Cultural Centre Middleback Art Centre in Port Augusta and attracted 21 attendees.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE CURRENT YEAR
PUBLIC PROGRAM AND LEARNING AT THE GALLERY PROGRAMArt Gallery Guides were involved in programs of tours for the public, as well as special interest groups and members, talks, book clubs, celebratory Art Gallery events, START, school holidays and outreach events for increasingly diverse audiences. Articulate and CONNECT (print and digital) describe all of the opportunities that Guides provide to enhance visitor experiences. The single greatest increase in tour and visitor numbers in the Guide program has been for the student groups in learning tours. Statistics for tours, and for numbers of visitors guided, appear elsewhere in this Annual Report.
GUIDES’ CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMAs well as their touring commitments, the Art Gallery Guides meet every Tuesday morning (in school term dates) for a program of talks by Curators and other Art Gallery staff, visiting speakers, their guiding peers and other specialists in visual arts. Guides appreciate that this varied program is vital in maintaining and building on their professional skills and knowledge about the Art Gallery collections, exhibitions and audiences; the roles of Art Gallery staff; innovations in art in regional, national and global arenas; as well as building relationships within their group and sharing their ideas and views in a collaborative setting.
REVIEW OF EXHIBITION GUIDINGA new process for reviewing guiding experiences in major exhibitions has been established. From an initiative of Maureen Nimon, this process has been further streamlined by Di Davies and Di Atwa. A number of reviewing and data collection tools were trialled during, and following, the recent Biennial exhibition Magic Object. After analysis of the data, recommendations were formulated to guide decision-making, by both the Guides’ Executive and Art Gallery staff, with a view to continually evolving the preparation for, and implementation of, guided tours for future exhibitions.
AAGGO 2015 CONFERENCE –
Engage with Art, Engage with Audiences, Engage with Adelaide
The Australian Art Gallery Guides Organisation Conference in October 2015 – which coincided with the opening of TARNANTHI – was declared hugely successful by the 280 state and regional gallery guides from all states and territories, as well as New Zealand. Conference Convenor, Pamela Harding, and the numerous Art Gallery and Carrick Hill Guides, with Lisa Slade as consultant, were deservedly rewarded for their three years’ voluntary labour in planning and facilitating every detail of the extensive and thought-provoking program. The roving venues for talks, tours and special presentations, plus fine SA food and beverages from the Wine Centre, to Art Gallery, the Museum of Economic Botany, Samstag, Jam Factory, Carrick Hill and The Cedars, gave conferees an exceptional experience of our cultural offerings and the ways in which they can be shared with visitors.
APPENDIX H
GALLERY GUIDE TOUR SERVICES
This report provides a brief overview of the Guides’ organisation and its key achievements in 2015–2016. The Art Gallery Guides feel personally rewarded on a daily basis by their volunteering activities at the Gallery, and welcome conversations about their role at any time. A total of 21,194 people participated in 2,350 tours for the general public, children and families. A total of 40,205 students and accompanying adults participated in 1,033 tours.
Membership: The Art Gallery Guides, including those formerly known as Education Guides, together with the two resource writers, now all form a cohesive group, who liaise with Art Gallery staff through Lisa Slade and Mark Fischer. Each volunteer supports a range of Public Programs and Learning at the Gallery tours, as well as many other support tasks. Over the past year, a total of 81 volunteers have served in this cohort. Their names appear at the end of this report.
The Gallery Guides’ Executive for 2015–16 include: Jill Swann – Coordinator, Helen Bulis – Coordinator Elect & AAGGO Representative, Karen Hammond – Secretary/Treasurer, Raine Harker– Roster Manager, Christine Briggs – Continuing Education Program Manager, Pam Norman – Special Projects Manager, Kelly Day/Helen Bulis – Children’s Tours Liaison, Jenny Cunningham - Learning at the Gallery Liaison, Lisa Slade – AGSA Senior Management representative, Mark Fischer and Ryan Sims – Learning at the Gallery Staff. The Executive, with diverse and comprehensive skills, meets bi-weekly with each member being responsible for a specific aspect of the management of the Guides’ organisation. A further non-Executive group includes: Nel Steele – Floor Talks Manager, Jenny Palmer – Floor Talks Paper Editor, Heather Pearce – Guides’ Archivist and Librarian, and Heather Pearce and Jill Becker – Catering Coordinators.
The most recently recruited group of Guides graduated in July 2015 after a year’s training with Jill Swann and Rosemary Collins, and have taken up guiding commitments across the full roster. Some members of this group have also assumed Executive roles.
GUIDE RECOGNITIONLorraine Franzin, currently our longest serving Guide, was honoured with the Volunteer of the Year Award in December 2015, for her service since 1993. The extensive group of Guides who, over three years, effected the planning and implementation of October’s AAGGO 2015 Conference were also honoured. Also acknowledged by the Director and the Guides, were Jenny Klenner and John Hown for their 20 years as Gallery Guides. Jo Ben-Tovim, Trish Finnemore, Julian Hafner, Pam Harding, John Hayes, Robyn Mullins, Jenny Palmer, Wendy Parsons, Margaret Payne, Marion Queale, Perla Soberon-Brittle, Pamela Terry, Jo Thyer, Ruth Walter and John Woodrow were honoured for their 10 years as volunteer Guides. Through the 2015–2016 period, Annette Chalmers, Robyn Cowan, Marion Queale and James Lainas retired, and we mourned the passing of Ken Shimmin.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A Statement of Compliance
The Board prepared these financial statements in compliance with section 23 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with relevant Australian Accounting Standards (Reduced Disclosure Requirements) and comply with Treasurer’s Instructions and Accounting Policy Statements promulgated under the provisions of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.
The Board has applied Australian Accounting Standards that are applicable to not-for-profit entities, as the Board is a not-for-profit entity.
B Basis of preparation
The preparation of the financial statements requires:
• the use of certain accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Board’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are outlined in the applicable notes;
• the selection and application of accounting policies in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events are reported; and
• compliance with Accounting Policy Statements issued pursuant to section 41 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987. In the interest of public accountability and transparency the Accounting Policy Statements require the following note disclosures, which have been included in this financial report:
a) expenses incurred as a result of engaging consultants;
b) staff targeted voluntary separation package information;
c) staff whose normal remuneration is equal to or greater than the base executive remuneration level (within $10 000 bandwidths) and the aggregate of the remuneration paid or payable or otherwise made available, directly or indirectly, by the entity to those staff; and
d) Board/committee member and remuneration information, where a board/committee member is entitled to receive income from membership other than a direct out-of-pocket reimbursement.
The Board’s Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Changes in Equity have been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets that were valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.
The Board’s financial statements and accompanying notes include all of the controlled activities of the Board including the Art Gallery Foundation. The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared on a cash basis. The financial statements have been prepared based on a twelve month operating cycle and are presented in Australian currency.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 and the comparative information presented for the year ended 30 June 2015.

F Cash & cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position include cash at bank and on hand, and short-term deposits held with the Bank of South Australia and the Australian and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are as defined above.
Cash is measured at nominal value.
G Receivables
Receivables include amounts receivable from goods and services, prepayments and other accruals. Receivables arise in the normal course of selling goods and services to the public and other government agencies. Receivables are generally receivable within 30 days after the issue of an invoice or the goods/services have been provided under a contractual arrangement.
Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that the Board will not be able to collect the debt. Bad debts are written off when identified.
H Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or their net realisable value. Cost of inventory is measured on the basis of the first-in, first-out method. Net realisable value is determined using the estimated sale proceeds less costs incurred in marketing, selling and distribution to customers. Inventories include books and publications held for sale.
The amount of any inventory write-down to net realisable value or inventory losses are recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or loss occurred. Any write-down reversals are recognised as an expense reduction.
I Investments
Investments are brought to account at cost in accordance with Accounting Policy Framework IV Financial Asset and Liability Framework APS 2.1.
J Non-current asset acquisition and recognition
The cost method of accounting is used for the initial recording of all acquisitions of assets. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given the consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. Assets donated during the year have been brought to account at fair value.
All non-current assets with a value of $10,000 or greater are capitalised.
K Valuation of non-current assets
All non-current assets are held at fair value and a revaluation of non-current assets or a group of assets is only performed when its fair value at the time of acquisition is greater than $1 million and estimated useful life is greater than three years.
Land and buildings and heritage collections are re-valued every six years. However, if at any time management considers the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value, then the asset will be revalued regardless of when the last valuation took place. Non-current assets that are acquired between revaluations are held at cost until the next valuation, where they are revalued to fair value.
Any revaluation increment is credited to the revaluation surplus, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrement of the same asset class previously recognised as an expense, in which case the increase is recognised as income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

C Source of funds
The Board’s principal source of current funding consists of grants from the State Government. In addition, the Board also receives monies from sales, admissions, donations, bequests, sponsorships, interest and investment income and other receipts, and uses the monies for the achievement of its objectives. Bequests, donations and grants can only be used in accordance with the terms and conditions attributable.
D Income and expenses
Income and expenses are recognised in the Board’s Statement of Comprehensive Income when and only when it is probable that the flow of economic benefits to or from the entity will occur and can be reliably measured. Income and expenses have been classified according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific Accounting Standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Donations, bequests, subscriptions, grants and sponsorships are recognised as income in the period in which the Board obtains control over the income. Income from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of sale. Income from the rendering of a service is recognised when the Board obtains control over the income. Government grants are recognised as income in the period in which the Board obtains control over the grants.
Donated heritage collections received by the Board are recognised as income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year of receipt at fair value.
Resources received free of charge
Resources received free of charge are recorded as income and expenditure in the Statement of Comprehensive Income at their fair value.
Under an arrangement with Arts SA and Artlab Australia, both divisions of the Department of State Development, Artlab Australia receives SA Government appropriation to perform conservation services on the heritage collections of the Art Gallery. The value of the work performed is recognised as resources received free of charge in income (note 14) and a corresponding amount included as conservation work expenditure in supplies and services (note 6).
Under an arrangement with the Department of State Development, financial services and human resource services are provided free of charge to the Board. The value of these services is recognised as resources received free of charge in income (Note 14) and a corresponding amount included as a business services charge in supplies and services (Note 6).
E Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are characterised as either current or non-current in nature. The Board has a clearly identifiable operating cycle of 12 months. Therefore assets and liabilities that will be realised as part of the normal operating cycle have been classified as current assets or current liabilities. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

Due to the size and nature of the art collection all high value assets (greater than $350,000) were valued individually with the remainder of the art collection valued by establishing an average value through the random sampling of items in each collection. Two high valued items in the numismatic collection were valued individually. All other items were valued as a collection. The library collection and the Noye collection of photographic material were both valued as collections. Items in the philatelic collection were valued individually.
All valuers have experience in the category of assets being valued. The valuation was prepared on the basis of replacement value and fair value. The valuation was carried out in accordance with the International Valuation Standards Framework and the relevant Australian Accounting Standards.
Replacement value for insurance purposes was defined as the estimated amount that one would expect to pay for the same or similar item in a retail setting from a reputable merchant at the date of valuation. Some of the heritage items valued are unique by vir tue of their history and could not be replaced with similar items. In these instances the valuers deduced values based on similar but not directly comparable items.
In instances where there were sufficient observable transactions of similar assets to the subject asset (generally in second hand markets), the market approach has been utilised to determine fair value. Inputs to the fair value measurement are considered level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they have been observed from the market and the valuer has made relatively minor adjustments for differences in asset characteristics. Where possible, the valuations were based on recent market transactions for similar cultural and heritage assets and may include adjustment for factors specific to each asset including size, rarity, quality, condition, historical significance and associated restrictions.
Where the frequency of available market transactions has not permitted the use of observable inputs, the valuers have used significant professional judgement in determining the fair value measurements. These assets are therefore considered to be in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value measurement – Non-financial assets
In determining fair value, the Board has taken into account the characteristic of the asset (e.g. condition and location of the asset and any restrictions on the sale or use of the asset); and the asset’s highest and best use (that is physically possible, legally permissible, financially feasible).
The Board’s current use is the highest and best use of the asset unless other factors suggest an alternative use is feasible. As the Board did not identify any factors to suggest an alternative use, fair value measurement was based on current use.
L Impairment of assets
All non-current assets are tested for indications of impairment at each reporting date. Where there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and depreciated replacement costs. An amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount is recorded as an impairment loss.
For re-valued assets an impairment loss is offset against the revaluation surplus.
There were no indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangibles as at 30 June 2016.
2 SU M MARY OF S IG N I F IC ANT ACCOU NT I NG POL IC I ES
Any revaluation decrement is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it offsets a previous revaluation increase of the same asset class, in which case the decrease is debited directly to the revaluation surplus to the extent of the credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus for that asset class.
Upon revaluation, the accumulated depreciation has been restated proportionately with the change in gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount, after revaluation, equals its revalued amount.
Upon disposal or de-recognition, any revaluation surplus relating to that asset is transferred to retained earnings.
Land and buildings
An independent valuation of the land and buildings was conducted as at 30 June 2014 by Valcorp Australia Pty Ltd. The valuation of land and buildings as at 30 June 2014 was prepared on a fair value basis in accordance with AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment and AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment including computer equipment, on acquisition, has been deemed to be held at fair value.
Intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Intangible assets are measured at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Heritage collections
The heritage collections are large and diverse. They include many items for which valuations are complex, given considerations of market value and their uniqueness. The heritage collections are independently valued every six years. The collections were valued as at 30 June 2016 by RHAS, an operating division of Aon Risk Services. RHAS was responsible for the selection of the specialist valuers as listed below.

using market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds with durations that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
On-costs
Staff benefit on-costs (payroll tax and superannuation) are recognised separately under payables.
Superannuation
Contributions are made by the Board to several superannuation schemes operated by the State Government and private sector. These contributions are treated as an expense when they occur. There is no liability for payments to beneficiaries as they have been assumed by the respective superannuation schemes. The only liability outstanding at balance date relates to any contributions due but not yet paid to the relevant superannuation schemes. The Department of Treasury and Finance centrally recognises the superannuation liability, for the schemes operated by the State Government, in the whole-of-government financial statements.
P Workers compensation provision
The workers compensation provision is an actuarial estimate of the outstanding liability as at 30 June 2016 provided by a consulting actuary engaged through the Office for the Public Sector. The provision is for the estimated cost of ongoing payments to staff as required under current legislation.
Q Leases
The Board has entered into a number of operating lease agreements for accommodation, vehicles and multi-function printing devices where the lessors effectively retain all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the items held under the operating leases. Operating lease payments are representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets and accordingly are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the periods in which they are incurred.
R Comparative information
The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements and accompanying notes are consistent with prior periods except where specific accounting standards and/or accounting policy statements have required a change.
Where presentation or classification of items in the financial statements have been amended, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation or classification in these financial statements unless impracticable to do so.
The restated comparative amounts do not replace the original financial statements for the preceding period.
S Taxation
The Board is not subject to income tax. The Board is liable for payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, goods and services tax (GST) and emergency services levy.
Income, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the amount of GST incurred by the Board as a purchaser is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense.

M Depreciation and amortisation of non-current assets
All non-current assets, having a limited useful life, are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. Amortisation is used in relation to intangible assets such as software, while depreciation is applied to tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment. Assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation/amortisation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis. Land and heritage collections are not depreciated. Depreciation/amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the following classes of assets as follows:-
Class of asset Useful life (years)
Buildings and improvements 20 to 100
Plant and equipment 3 to 20
Intangibles 5
Heritage collections are kept under special conditions so that there is no physical deterioration and they are anticipated to have very long and indeterminate useful lives. No amount for depreciation has been recognised, as their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period.
N Payables
Payables include creditors, accrued expenses and staff on-costs.Creditors and accrued expenses represent goods and services provided by
other parties during the period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. All amounts are measured at their normal amount and are normally settled within 30 days after the Board receives an invoice.
Staff on-costs include superannuation contributions and payroll tax with respect to outstanding liabilities for salaries and wages, long service leave, annual leave and skills and experience retention leave.
O Staff benefits
No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by staff is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement of sick leave.
Salaries, wages, annual leave and SERL
Liabilities for salaries, wages, annual leave and skills and experience retention leave have been recognised as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at current remuneration rates.The annual leave liability and the skills and experience retention leave liability are expected to be payable within 12 months and are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by staff up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
The estimated liability for long service leave is based on actuarial assumptions over expected future salary and wage levels, experience of staff departures and periods of service. These assumptions are based on employee data over SA Government entities. Expected future payments are discounted

The Board did not voluntarily change any of its accounting policies during 2015–16. The net GST receivable/payable to the ATO is not recognised as a receivable/payable in the Statement of Financial Position as the Board is a member of an approved GST group of which Arts SA, a division of the Department of State Development, is responsible for the remittance and collection of GST. As such, there are no cash flows relating to GST transactions with the ATO in the Statement of Cash Flows.
T State Government funding
The financial statements are presented under the assumption of ongoing financial support being provided to the Board by the State Government.
U Rounding
All amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000).
V Insurance
The Board has arranged, through SAICORP, a division of the SA Government Financing Authority, insurance cover that insures all major risks of the Board. The excess payable is fixed under this arrangement.
W Unrecognised contractual commitments and contingent assets and liabilities
Commitments include operating, capital and outsourcing commitments arising from contractual or statutory sources and are disclosed at their nominal value.
Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, but are disclosed by way of a note and, if quantifiable, are measured at nominal value.
Unrecognised contractual commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the ATO. If GST is not payable to, or recoverable from the ATO, the commitments and contingencies are disclosed on a gross basis.
X Events after the reporting period
Adjustments are made to amounts recognised in the financial statements, where an event occurs after 30 June and before the date the financial statements are authorised for issue, where those events provide information about conditions that existed at 30 June.
Note disclosure is made about events between 30 June and the date the financial statements are authorised for issue where the events relate to a condition which arose after 30 June and which may have a material impact on the results of subsequent years.

Total investments 4,186 3,788
The market value of investments as at 30 June 2016 is $4.7 million ($4.6 million).
The valuation was based on recent market transactions for similar land and buildings (non specialised) in the area and includes adjustment for factors specific to the land and building being valued such as size and location. The valuer arrived at fair value using the market approach.
The valuer used depreciated replacement cost for specialised land and buildings, due to there not being an active market for such land and buildings. The depreciated replacement cost considered the need for ongoing provision of government services; specialised nature of the assets, including the restricted use of the assets; the size, condition and location. The valuation was based on a combination of internal records, specialised knowledge and the acquisition/transfer costs.
CARRYING AMOUNT OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
All items of plant and equipment had a fair value at the time of acquisition that was less than $1 million or had an estimated useful life that was less than three years, and have not been revalued in accordance with APF Ill. The carrying value of these items are deemed to approximate fair value. These asset are classified in level 3 as there has been no subsequent adjustments to their value, except for management assumptions about the asset’s condition and remaining useful life.
All other non-current assets have been deemed to be held at fair value.

AASB 119 Employee Benefits contains the calculation methodology for long service leave liability. The actuarial assessment performed by the Department of Treasury and Finance has provided a set level of liability for the measurement of long service leave.
AASB 119 requires the use of the yield on long term Commonwealth Government bonds as the discount rate in the measurement of the long service leave liability. The yield on long term Commonwealth Government bonds has decreased from 2015 (3.0%) to 2016 (2.0%). The resulting financial effect is immaterial.
This decrease in the bond yield, which is used as the rate to discount future long service leave cash flows, results in an increase in the reported long service leave liability.
The net financial effect of the changes in the methodology and actuarial assumptions is immaterial.
The salary inflation rate remained unchanged at 4.0% for long service leave. The salary inflation rate applied to annual leave and skills and experience retention leave also remained unchanged at 3.0% . The resulting financial effect of the change is nil.

As a result of an actuarial assessment performed by the Department of Treasury and Finance, the percentage of the proportion of long service leave taken as leave has increased from the 2015 rate of 37% to 40%. The average factor for the calculation of employer superannuation on-cost has decreased from the 2015 rate of 10.3% to 10.2%. These rates are used in the staff on-cost calculation.
The financial effect of the above change on staff on-costs and staff benefit expense is immaterial.
INTEREST RATE AND CREDIT RISK
Creditors and accruals are raised for all amounts billed but unpaid. Sundry creditors are normally settled within 30 days. Staff on-costs are settled when the respective staff benefit that they relate to is discharged. All payables are non-interest bearing. The carrying amount of payables approximates net fair value due to the amounts being payable on demand.

The Board is exposed to financial risk – liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk. There have been no changes in risk exposure since the last reporting period.
The Board is funded principally from grants from Arts SA a division of the Department for State Development. The Board works with Arts SA and the Department of Treasury & Finance to determine the cash flows associated with its Government approved program of work and to ensure funding is provided through SA Government budgetary processes to meet the expected cash flows.
31.2 CATEGORISATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1) Receivable and payable amounts disclosed here exclude amounts relating to statutory receivables and payables. In government, certain rights to receive or pay cash may not be contractual and therefore in these situations, the requirements will not apply. Where rights or obligations have their source in legislation such as levy receivables/payables, tax equivalents, Commonwealth tax, audit payables, they would be excluded from the disclosure. The standard defines contract as enforceable by law. All amounts recorded are carried at cost (not materially different from amortised cost).
2) The receivables amount disclosed here, excludes prepayments. Prepayments are presented in note 19 as receivables in accordance with paragraph 78(b) of AASB 101. However, prepayments are not financial assets as defined in AASB 132 as the future economic benefit of these assets is the receipt of goods and services rather than the right to receive cash or another financial asset.
32 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATEThere has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report, any other item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the members of the Board, to affect significantly the operations of the Board, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Board in subsequent financial years.
