The Kapunda Community Gallery was opened in 1989 and is situated in the heritage-listed Thomson Building. The Community Gallery host's nine exhibitions each year, including travelling exhibitions made available by Country Arts South Australia and collections of works by regional and local artists. Two of the gallery's major annual events are the Summer Open Art Exhibition and nature-based exhibition, both of which are judged and Judges' Prizes, People's Prizes and Commendations are awarded. In addition, in November each year, the gallery is host to works by Kapunda High School Year 11 and 12 students as part of the Moderation process by South Australian Education Department examiners. The Gallery has established a flourishing drawing group, which meets weekly and holds occasional exhibitions of members' work. The Gallery is also a participant in the annual South Australia Living Artists Week during which local artists demonstrate their skills and techniques.
