About The Artist’s Voice Collective
The Artist’s Voice Collective has roots going back as far as 1967 when an artist from Hahndorf had an idea.
Helena Lyons wanted to celebrate the life of acclaimed South Australian artist Hans Heysen who had lived and worked in Hahndorf during the early part of the twentieth century. She decided that the perfect venue for this festival would be the old Hahndorf Academy once owned by artist Walter Wotzke and the site of Heysen’s last exhibition.
The idea came to fruition and with support from Mount Barker Council, the streets of Hahndorf were soon filled with artists and music. This was the foundation for what would eventually become The Heysen Festival and Heysen Art Prize.
It proved a wonderful way for artists to connect and in 1998 a group of like-minded artists who had been involved, formed The Artist’s Collective.
The collective held their first exhibition at Hillstowe Winery in Hahndorf that year and one member of the collective, Bob Landt, won the first inaugural Street Scape Prize with his watercolour Old Saw Mill Hahndorf.
The collective is made up of experienced artists working in a broad variety of styles and the members are vocal about how supportive the group is as a whole, meeting regularly to discuss their art and its practice as well as upcoming events and ideas.
