Anglesea Art Space

AAS-External-SCS.jpg

Art Space is a community-based shop front gallery run by Surf Coast Shire Council at Kuarka Dorla – the Wadawurrung traditional name for Anglesea River, a place to catch mullet.

The light filled space is available to emerging and established artists of all disciplines (including visual art, performance, installation) to exhibit, work and experiment at a minimal cost.

We strive to support artists to develop professionally, sell artworks, connect with other creatives and widen their audiences.
