Our Story

Fontanelle’s vision is to maintain an independent creative hub that sustains an innovative contemporary visual arts culture that engages not only locally but also nationally and internationally. We provide a program that promotes excellence in the visual arts by activating our own studio community, by facilitating an interactive exhibition model and engaging with the community through artist lead workshops and public art projects.

Fontanelle was founded at our Bowden site in 2012 by Brigid Noone and Ben Leslie along with a small management committee, and grew to be a groundbreaking contemporary gallery and artist studios. This project included renovating and remodeling a large industrial building to create 2 galleries, studio spaces for 26 artists, a workshop and construction space.

In 2017 Fontanelle launched its new gallery, studio & workshop space in the heart of Port Adelaide. With this new expansion Fontanelle Gallery and Studios is committed to growing our gallery and studio model by maintaining a creative hub at the historic Port Adelaide Post Office site with a new partnership with the Port Adelaide Enfield City Council. Fontanelle’s new location includes a large contemporary gallery space for exhibitions, 14 professional artist studios, a fully equipped community workshop space, a fabrication workshop area and a multiple use event space/laneway for social offerings such as performance and music events.

Since 2020 Fontanelle is coordinated by Anika Havey. Anika acknowledges the many years of work has been done in creating such a wonderful space that is Fontanelle and she is committed to continuing to support the artists and associated partnerships that make up the Fontanelle community.
