Jackalope Studio Gallery
burst onto the Port Adelaide art scene in April 2007. Since then it has become
The Port's premier exhibition space for international, interstate and local
artists. It is also a destination for unique items from around the world. Hidden
away in a back laneway, the gallery was originally the stables for the old Port
Admiral hotel. The new owners have lovingly restored and renovated the building
creating a unique ambiance. With its elegant style and surrounding stone walls,
the secluded courtyard with its native plants and colourful Mexican fountain is
also a relaxing place for a good cup of coffee. Artisage Gallery113 Carlisle Street, Glanville, SA 5015
