I've been in SA for a few years now but still haven't really been able to pin point which parts of Adelaide and surrounding regions are real 'Arts' Hubs.

I know this state is considered to be very 'arty' so where do all the artists hang out?

Hi TET,
I think the the artists are spread all over the place and tend not to hang in one area specifically and to be part of art associations and societies. I am also in the Barossa. There was a "art and soul conversations" in Springton. Which was a monthly gathering of artists. The next is August 8, you can contact Rod Mann on 8569 1187 for deails. Visit the galleries and ask if there are any groups. I think I may do that myself soon. There's Hahndorf Academy, The Station Masters in Strath, Victor Harbour arts is pretty far and active. Idea Perhaps we Barossians should start our own arthouse!

LOL - comedy Wink

Thanks for the suggestions Brike. I'm very much considering starting my own art group. I know plenty of artists in the Barossa but they all seem to be on a different wavelength to me.

Im curious to know this also!
I live near Port Adelaide- which is a bit arty farty seeing as they have country arts down here. Other than that I have yet to find a swarming HUB of artists... in communities...perhaps the hang out is state wide?!

Well guys

I must admit my research on internet is not looking very good. I found 10 galleries in all Adelaide, and only 2 had web sites. I am bit disappointed.
Or maybe Adelaide lis mystery city. If anyone know contemporary galleries and web site I would appreciate it.
