The Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia was established as the Contemporary Art Society in 1942, resultant of a breakaway group from the Royal Society of Arts by young artists seeking greater opportunities for their work. The Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia, incorporated in 1986, has a significant history of contemporary visual arts activity and maintains strong links with the South Australian community through its membership. In the past decade and a half the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia has developed into one of Australia's leading contemporary visual art spaces and publishers, one of two Adelaide members of the national Contemporary Art Organisations of Australia (CAOS).
