Broughton Art Society Disability Recreational Art Service Provider
Founded in 1965 The studio is renowned for its friendly, welcoming, and inclusive environment.

ABOUT US:
Our organisation is a Disability Recreational Art Service Provider (Registered ACNC Charity) which is administered by a small committee of volunteers. The Ian Broughton Memorial Art Studio is located at 269 Fullarton Rd, Parkside, SA 5063, and the sessions are open to all participants throughout Adelaide and South Australia. Our aim is to discover the talents and develop the skills of our artists are who are living with a disability by providing community-based group art activities. We provide dedicated services to assist in enriching the lives of our participants through their artistic and creative endeavours with the opportunity to stimulate the imagination and enjoy a meaningful experience of hands-on activity in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. The sessions are tailored to suit individual abilities and interests. Our skilled and knowledgeable art facilitators and volunteers provide educational and innovative art and craft sessions in the studio from Monday to Friday with instruction in painting, mosaics, ceramics, decoupage, papier-mâché and much more. We have approximately 70 participants who regularly attend every week and sometimes twice a week with many attending both sessions in one day. It is an extremely popular service that is thoroughly enjoyed by all our participants at every session. The Broughton Art Society was originally established in 1965 and continues to this day, and this year (2025) marks our 60th anniversary which is significant achievement. OUR HISTORY:
As a young man in his early twenties, the late Ian Broughton's ambition was to house a recreational art studio and provide facilities and resources to enable South Australian adults living with a disability to get together to pursue their interest in the Arts. Ian successfully founded ‘The Arts Society for the Handicapped’ in February 1965. Ian, who was affected by Muscular Dystrophy passed away later that year in October.
‘The Arts Society for the Handicapped’ was then renamed/rebranded to ‘The Broughton Art Society Incorporated’ in 1994. This unique service was originally located at Bedford Industries, and then in 1971, courtesy of the City of Unley, the Society moved to The Ian Broughton Memorial Art Studio in Parkside.
