CANBERRA CONTEMPORARY ART SPACE
CCAS is one of a national network of contemporary arts organisations (CAOs) dedicated to the generation, presentation and promotion of innovative contemporary visual arts practice in Australia. Its program of exhibitions, performances, artists’ talks and publications aims to provide opportunities for artists in the ACT to exhibit their work within a context of current national and international practice.
CCAS receives funding from ACT Government through artsACT and the Federal Government through the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council and the Visual Arts Craft Strategy. Established in 1987 CCAS is a non-profit organisation with an elected board of management. It presents over 40 contemporary art projects annually in the ACT, operating venues at Gorman House Arts Centre and a smaller gallery in Manuka.
The primary focus of CCAS's artistic program is new and experimental contemporary artwork. A high degree of innovation and technical expertise is expected from the artists who exhibit in these galleries.
CCAS pays artists’ fees and has a modest budget for exhibition presentation and promotion. A standard CCAS exhibition brochure is produced for artists showing in Gorman House MAINspace only. Exhibition budgets are negotiated by CCAS in consultation with the artist and in accordance with specific project requirements. They are also commensurate with funding levels at the time of the exhibition.
