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.
