In 2022, ANCA is pleased to present a exhibition showcasing the work of our studio creatives.
ANCA Tenant Talent On Show
Saturday 22 October will see the considerable talents of ANCA artists exhibiting for the first time since the relaxing of COVID restrictions. Entitled, the stuff in between, the show explores what happens between the artist’s concept and what is eventually perceived by others. Twenty six of ANCA’s resident artists will be participating at ANCA’s gallery in Dickson.
Dr Marisa Paterson MLA, representing Ms Tara Cheyne Minister for Arts MLA, will open the Exhibition at 2:30pm.
The occasion also celebrates the 30th year since the Dickson studios and gallery opened and the launch of the new Friends of ANCA.
Speaking today Karen Lee, Chair of the ANCA Board, said:
We are delighted to invite everyone to join with us in celebrating ANCA’s three decades of nurturing the Canberra region’s artistic talent. The talent on show is simply breath taking.
It’s amazing that Australia’s largest studios run for artists by artists is still fulfilling its objectives of providing affordable and fit-for-purpose studio space for artists. It justifies the vision our founders and their supporters in government had. As the beneficiaries of that good work I, and all ANCA residents, express our thanks to those visionaries.
Of course, we look forward to our next 30 years. However, ANCA needs the support of the greater community to continue to thrive. We invite the community to support us by becoming a Friend of ANCA.
The exhibition runs from 22 October to 27 November. The opening day celebration starts at 11 on Saturday 22 October with arts sales and refreshments, live music from 12, official proceedings 2:30-3:00, and closing at 6.
ANCA is an independent not-for-profit artist-run initiative in Canberra, Australia. ANCA was established a collaboration between the ACT Government and representatives of Canberra’s Visual Arts community. ANCA provides 35 affordable and professional studio spaces to artists at two campuses located in Dickson and Mitchell, plus an exhibition facility at Dickson.
We will proudly be showcasing tenant talent as follows.
