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.

IMPORTANT: Read terms and conditions to exhibit at Anglesea Art Space

This is a community exhibition space, not a private gallery or retail shop.  All funds raised through rental costs and commissions go back into the Art Space program for the purchase of essential items, equipment and program development.

To provide as many opportunities as possible, artists who apply as an individual can be placed in a group exhibition with one or more other artists.

For more information or to discuss your application, please contact the Exhibitions and Gallery Support Officer through artsteam@surfcoast.vic.gov.au, or pop into the Anglesea Art Space on Thursdays.
