Twenty-one years is a coming of age and allows examination of ANCA’s achievements, with a roll call of more twenty-three alumni artists chosen for the birthday exhibition at Canberra Museum and Art Gallery (CMAG) is a small representation of the achievement of the many artists who have demonstrated an intensity of purpose, in their time at ANCA and since, in their careers nationally and internationally.
ANCA has enabled generations of Canberra artists to stay in the nation’s capital and continue to practise their art and contribute to the ACT’s artistic history and visual arts community.
