Adelaide Central School of Art
Adelaide Central School of Art is an independent, not-for-profit, accredited higher education provider of tertiary courses in the visual arts, located in Adelaide, Australia. Adelaide Central School of Art uses the atelier model of visual arts education. The school offers an associate degree of Visual Art, Bachelor of Visual Art, and Bachelor of Visual Art (Hons), and short courses, workshops and masterclasses. History The School was founded in 1982 by Rod Taylor and Heather Nicholson. Initially occupying a rented space in Bloor Court, Adelaide, it moved in 1988 to a warehouse in Gilles Street, establishing itself as an accredited independent art school. In January 1994, the School moved to heritage buildings in Osmond Terrace, Norwood, leasing them from the School's founder until they were sold in 2011. Taylor retired in 2008 and was succeeded by Ingrid Kellenbach as CEO. Adelaide Central School of Art relocated to the Glenside Cultural Precinct in January 2013, completing the first stage of the renovation of two iconic heritage buildings in May 2013. The South Australian Government granted the School a 50-year lease on these buildings located adjacent to the Adelaide Film Studios home of the South Australian Film Corporation and related creative enterprises.
