Ainslie and Gorman offer rich opportunities to create, present and enjoy art, to network and collaborate, to teach and learn, and to foster critical discussion and the meeting of creative minds.
We believe that art thrives in a dynamic social environment. To flourish, artists need more than just facilities or funding: they need stimulus, example and informed criticism from their peers, mentors, rivals and audiences. Communities, in turn, must be involved in a genuine conversation about how and why art is made, and interact directly with the people who make it.
Our aim is to cultivate inspiring places for these creative encounters to happen.
Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres are managed by an independent not-for-profit organisation, Arts Capital Limited, under head licence from the ACT Government.
Applications are accepted year-round and will be assessed within a fortnight of application.
