Hahndorf Academy
About Hahndorf Academy
Situated in the centre of the picturesque village of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, the Hahndorf Academy is a magical place where visual arts and heritage meet.
The Academy Shop which showcases quality hand crafted products by local and regional artists and designers. We are proud to stock works from over 100 local artists in our beautiful shop including glass, jewellery, prints, cards, skin care, books, clothing and original artwork.
There is an ever changing panorama of contemporary visual art to discover in our Gallery, then step back and enjoy a change of pace with our special collection of Sir Hans Heysen’s whimsical drawings of village life from times gone by.
Starting out as a boarding school, and later a maternity hospital, if the walls of the 19th Century Heritage building could talk they would tell remarkable stories of history and courage and fear and excitement as early settlers created new lives for themselves. You can also absorb the local history in our German Migration Museum and be captivated by objects and stories relating to the lives of Hahndorf’s pioneering families.
Volunteer at Hahndorf Academy
Would you like to join our lovely team? Hahndorf Academy are looking for retails volunteers to assist our beautiful shop.
