The historic Balaklava Courthouse, built in 1913, was converted into an Art Gallery and Gift Shop when offered to the community. Since the Gallery was opened in 1991, the community has enjoyed regular exhibitions by South Australian artists and craft people. The Gallery is administered by a Management Committee and supervised by volunteers. The Gallery is available for hire for meetings and small

functions. For exhibition space bookings, and enquiries, please contact the Curators:

The Gallery Gift Shop is an outlet for unique and affordable - and mostly handcrafted locally - gifts, art and crafts, on consignment. We welcome enquiries from prospective suppliers, and invite visitors to come to browse and shop. The Balaklava Art Group is a small group of amateur artists who paint together for inspiration and motivation. They meet at the Balaklava Courthouse Gallery on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 10am until "lunchtime-or-later".

Emerging local artist Tia Barr’s first solo exhibition, ‘Seeing in Black & White’, is up and open to the public today - and looking beautiful in our space. Tia’s detailed graphite drawings, along with new explorations in charcoal, ink, lino print and fabric, centre on observation, memory and the quiet fleeting moments that shape our lives.

The exhibition runs until Sunday June 21. Do call in to enjoy Tia’s amazing and thoughtful monochrome works. A lovely moment of quiet in all the busyness of life.
