2026 MEMBERS SHOW

22 August - 13 September 2026, Platform
Exhibition opening: Friday 21 August 2026, 6pm

The Canberra Contemporary Members Show returns this year to celebrate the many artistic voices in our community. This group exhibition features works from emerging to established artists with diverse contemporary practices - from painting and sculpture to photography, textiles, digital media and more. Fostering a space for conversation, connection and an exchange of ideas, this show offers an exciting glimpse into current trends and perspectives from artists in the ACT and surrounding regions.

All financial Canberra Contemporary members (General and Concession) are warmly invited to enter an artwork and be a part of this much-loved event.

Entry is free and there is no exhibition theme. All eligible artworks will be included in the show. 

This year we are excited to welcome Yvette Dal Pozzo, Director of Goulburn Regional Art Gallery as our guest judge. A prize pool worth over $1,000 will be awarded on opening night, courtesy of our friends at Lerida Estate, Into Tomorrow Accounting, Book Runner, and The Jetty.

Entries close Sunday 16 August, 6pm. To enter please read the guidelines and submit your artwork details via the form online.
