CREATIVE SPACES
Conceived to engage and support Aboriginal artists, researchers, and knowledge seekers, the AACA's Vilna location features an interpretive gallery and study centre of contemporary and traditional craft.
Housed in a 1925 storefront, and located on Vilna's historic main street, the AACA gallery will also feature an artist in residency program,, complemented by two studio workshop spaces for up to 40 participants.
From an on-line presence, to marketing, publicity and outreach activities, the centre is designed to provide both professional and emerging artists with comprehensive supports that will advance their creative practice, merit, portfolios, and livelihood.
