Adelaide Central School of Art is South Australia’s only independent, not-for-profit, single-focus art school that is dedicated to training students to be practising artists.

Renowned nationally for its standards of excellence in both technical and conceptual development of practice, the School values studio-based teaching, small class sizes and one-on-one student interaction with lecturers.

Our graduates are consistently awarded for outstanding achievements in their studies, and often go on to receive prizes of national and international acclaim. Our lecturers are respected contemporary artists, writers and curators, with South Australia’s most esteemed practicing artists among them.

Adelaide Central Gallery, located within the School, fosters collaborations with leading national and international arts organisations and artists. It is an excellent resource for students to meet the contemporary visual arts community in South Australia and beyond.
