Since ANCA’s inaugural PIN Show of 2011, the concept of reducing scale and honing in on a miniature wearable platform has appealed to many artists from a range of practices—such as sculptors, printmakers, painters, ceramicists, silversmiths, machine-makers, photographers, woodworkers and glass artists.
Following the success of the first show, ANCA held annual PIN exhibitions from 2012 to 2018. Now, after a break of five years, the ANCA Gallery is again running this hugely popular exhibition in 2023.
PIN provides a platform for contemporary artists, designers, craft practitioners and makers of all disciplines to showcase their work in an exhibition that focuses on the miniature: wearable artwork—the brooch.
PIN 9 will be exhibited at ANCA Gallery from 6pm Wednesday 9 August to 5pm Saturday 19 August.
Visitors who come to ANCA Gallery for this exhibition view it as a chance to purchase unique statement pieces that they can pin to their winter attire, as well as an opportunity to collect the work of established and emerging contemporary Australian artists at an affordable price.
