A notable development in Canberra’s art scene in recent years has been the work undertaken by the Molonglo Group to commission some great Australian artists to design work of varying mediums which is on display around their New Acton precinct in the City’s West.  See some of the work on their website.

The Canberra Museum and Gallery provides a fantastic showcase for local artists.  More information can be found on our Exhibitions in the Cube - Ainslie AvenueCity page.
