Ainslie + Gorman Arts Centres | VisitCanberra

Twin arts centres, Ainslie and Gorman, host the national capital's largest collective of professional artists and arts companies a stone's throw from the city centre. If it takes a village to raise an artist, this is the village.

Gorman Arts Centre is where new ideas, new works, and new artists are made and where they rub shoulders with audiences and each other in a bustling, multi-arts environment.

Ainslie Arts Centre dedicates everything to music. Through education, rehearsals, and public performances, this music hub unites music-makers and music-lovers in an exciting program.

Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres are located just 400 metres apart from one another, in Braddon.

This is a lovely building with nice courtyards where there used to be quite a good market, but is tired and in need of some tending. It used to be residential hostel and is art deco. There's a...

Se tient de dans cet endroit un petit marché artisanal, assez sympathique.
Génial pour une petite promenade dominicale.
