Welcome to M16 Artspace

Founded in 1985, M16 Artspace is an inclusive organisation that supports a thriving arts community of emerging and established artists, writers and curators of any age, background or culture. We present high-quality exhibitions from both emerging and established artists and curators from Canberra, interstate and overseas. We are partially supported by the ACT Government for our gallery program.

Today, M16 Artspace runs three gallery spaces, manages 31 artist studios and houses five arts organisations that offer art classes. With new exhibition blocks beginning their cycle every four weeks, it is an ideal place to experience art in Canberra.
