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.

Info for exhibitors

Artists must be available to mind the gallery during the advertised exhibition opening hours. The Art Space Coordinator may be able to assist 1 day each week (usually a Thursday) depending on other commitments within their role.

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 Anglesea Art Space Coordinator artsteam@surfcoast.vic.gov.au, or pop into the Art Space on Thursdays.

How to prepare for your Expression of Interest (EOI)

  • DATES: What dates can you commit to? The entry form includes a list of dates with tick boxes - we encourage you to select multiple dates to help with programming.
  • IMAGES: Provide good quality images – upload images to give us a clear idea of what you would like to exhibit, or what you have been working on.
  • CURATED & GROUP EXHIBITIONS: Got an idea for a group exhibition/project? Would you like to curate an exhibition but you’re not sure how to go about it? Don’t be shy, we can help! Please do not hesitate to contact the Art Space Coordinator to discuss your proposal.
  • FIRST TIME EXHIBITORS: we proudly support artists who are venturing out for the first time. It’s exciting to show your work to the public and we can help guide you through the experience.
  • SOLO APPLICANTS: You can apply for a solo show (but make sure you have the time to mind the exhibition), or we can pair or group you with other artists. 
  • CV: provide a brief list of exhibitions/projects if applicable (if you have exhibited at Art Space before, you are not required to provide this information).
