Join us for the launch event at ANCA Gallery Saturday 23 November from 2pm

On Scale, is the annual ANCA Artist Group Show, co-curated this year by Bruce Reynolds and Ruth Waller. The curatorial brief asked the artists, all of whom have studios at either ANCA Dickson or ANCA Mitchell, to explore scale: from the miniature to the monumental. Doing so, each artist has focused on tensions and complementary or synergistic relationships between their own works, or between works by others exhibiting in the gallery space and how these works relate to each other.

Participating artists include: S.A. Adair, Katrina Barter, Emma Beer, Marley Dawson, Eve Fairhall, Kirsten Farrell, David Greenhalgh, David Helmers, Karen Lee, Dan Power, Alba Salsone, Lisa Sammut.
