Glenelg Art Gallery
The Glenelg Art Gallery ( heretofore referred to as the Art Gallery of South Australia) is housed in the Art Gallery of South Australia, located on Hindmarsh Square in Adelaide, South Australia. The gallery opened to critical acclaim in 1855, making it one of the oldest public art galleries in Australia. The gallery was modeled after the National Gallery of Victoria and was the first public art museum in Australia.
In 1852, the Government House in Glenelg, South Australia, was converted into the Glenelg Art Gallery, which was Australia’s first public art gallery. The gallery houses paintings, sculptures, and photographs on subjects such as the early colonial settlement of South Australia, the wildflowers of the Fleurieu Peninsula, and seascapes from Kangaroo Island.
Glenelg Art Gallery is an ethical art marketplace, offering a piece of art at the right price. This is a relatively new model for art in Australia, and it serves to validate the values of art collectors. By creating a more direct connection between art and buyer, a new conversation has been sparked.
The Glenelg Art Gallery, located in Australia’s one of the most isolated regions, houses a fascinating collection of fine art, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs by renowned artists such as August Sander, Joseph Heap, and Alex Baldessari, as well as a body of work by young artists who are making their mark in Australia’s contemporary art scene such as Ilsa Jussila, Katrina Bell, and Jason Lesley.
