HAHNDORF

ACADEMY

 ABOUT 

The Hahndorf Academy is located in a heritage building that was originally built as a school in 1857.

 

In 1968 a local artist who recognised the importance of the arts rescued the building from demolition and established the gallery. One of Australia’s most influential artists, Hans Heysen, had a connection with the Gallery that continues through his family today. A collection of Heysen drawings is on permanent display, and the prestigious Heysen Art prize is presented by the Academy biennially.

​

The Academy building is unique in terms of its history and the way people relate to it. Many people, including visitors, have a story that connects them with the building and the history of the area.

 

The co-location of the Academy with the Visitor Information Centre has attracted additional tourist traffic into the gallery.
