Canberra Art Gallery
Overview
Canberra Art Gallery is a destination for fine contemporary art, located in the heart of Fyshwick. It is a space dedicated to celebrating creativity, culture, and the power of artistic expression in Australia's capital. The gallery was founded with a clear vision: to get art into everyone's life and to showcase the remarkable talent found both locally and internationally.
Inside its expansive walls, visitors are invited to explore a constantly evolving collection that spans painting, sculpture, mixed media, and large-scale installations. The program is designed to highlight a diverse range of perspectives, featuring acclaimed Archibald Prize winners, internationally recognised artists, and rising local talents. This balance ensures every visit brings new opportunities for discovery and inspiration.
In addition to exhibitions, Canberra Art Gallery hosts events, launches, and activations that celebrate art in all its forms. The aim is to create experiences that are accessible and engaging, while maintaining the highest standards of curation and presentation.
By bringing together Australia's most innovative artists alongside global figures, the gallery seeks to contribute to the cultural fabric of the city. Canberra Art Gallery is more than a place to view art. It is a place where creativity becomes part of daily life.
