Hahndorf Academy

Nestled in a stunning heritage building on Hahndorf's iconic Main Street, Hahndorf Academy is a vibrant hub of art, culture, and creativity. As the second most visited gallery in South Australia, they offer a unique experience that blends history with contemporary artistic expression. The Hahndorf Academy Shop is a treasure trove of beautiful, handcrafted works by South Australian artists and makers. Discover a curated collection of paintings, prints, photography, ceramics, glassworks, books, candles, textiles, jewellery, and more — all lovingly made by local creatives. Their galleries feature an ever-changing program of contemporary exhibitions across three gallery spaces, showcasing a diverse range of established and emerging artists — with a strong focus on South Australian talent. We're also proud hosts of the prestigious Heysen Prize for Landscape. The museum at Hahndorf Academy tells the rich, layered story of the region — from the First Nations Peramangk people and the concept of Bukatila, to the lives of early German settlers and 19th-century village life. Visitors can explore rare artefacts and compelling displays that bring the area's cultural heritage to life. They are passionate about nurturing creativity. Their workshop program offers regular hands-on classes for adults and children in our dedicated studios, including a fully equipped pottery studio.
