Adelaide Central School of Art (ACSA) is a unique independent, not-for-profit, single-focus art school.  We see first-hand the transformative impact of quality arts education on individuals. We believe art plays a central role in creating a richer, more connected world. Quality visual art starts with quality visual arts education.

Our independence is our strength but it leaves us vulnerable. Without additional financial assistance we rely primarily on income from student fees. Though we contribute significantly to South Australia's cultural capital we remain a self-funded organisation.

This is why your support is essential. It can help transform the lives of our future artists.

Your generous investment will provide support:

To revive and develop the decommission Erindale heritage building into a creative hub for local and visiting artists, students, graduates, lecturers, and curators, to encourage and support creative collaboration and education. 

Plans have been developed and were approved in March 2024. 

Adelaide Central School of Art is a registered Deductible Gift Recipient. All funds received before 30 June 2024 will directly support our capacity to support artists and every donation over $2 is tax-deductible.
