Australian Centre for Contemporary Art
The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art is Melbourne’s leading contemporary art gallery presenting the most challenging, innovative and creative visual art of our time. ACCA brings the latest and most significant artwork by living artists from around the world to Melbourne audiences, and commissions new artworks by local and international artists. ACCA is a Kunsthalle which is an art gallery focused on commissioning rather than collecting.
The Balnaves Foundation has provided funds since 2009 to enable ACCA's annual 'NEW' exhibition. The NEW exhibition offers six to ten emerging Australian artists the opportunity to create ambitious new works for ACCA’s unique gallery spaces. The Balnaves Foundation and ACCA are motivated by a mutual commitment to support and nurture young artists and provide a significant opportunity to sustain and extend their careers. Some of the artists that have presented work in NEW include Stuart Ringholt, Anastasia Klose, Daniel von Sturmer, David Rosetzky, Louise Weaver, Sandra Selig, Matt Hinkley, Jonathan Jones and Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro.
NEW12 opens on the 17th March, 2012 and closes on the 20th May, 2012
The artists for NEW12 are: KATIE LEE, ANGELICA MESITI, KATE MITCHELL, BENNETT MILLER and CHARLIE SOFO.
