Established in 1856, we are Australia’s oldest continuously running art society. RSASA represents South Australian artists, presenting about a dozen exhibitions a year in our historic gallery in the Institute Building on North Terrace, Adelaide.
The RSASA Gallery is situated on Level 1, in the Institute Building, on the corner of North Tce & Kintore Ave, Adelaide. A historic gallery, built in 1906 for the RSASA.
The RSASA has celebrated 165 years in 2021, and maintains a membership of creative artists in media of art. A member-based art society, the oldest in Australia with a prolific membership of all levels. The aim is to encourage artists to showcase their art in our wonderful gallery.
