Support Us
ACE is a not-for-profit contemporary art space, generously supported by public and private funding. There are many ways individuals and businesses can support ACE.
- Illustration watering plant.
ACE plays a vital role within the South Australian arts sector and cultural ecology, championing best practice in a wide range of arts activities.
- Illustration of two people in a three-legged race.
We serve as a scaffold for building local artists’ careers and are quickly growing a legacy of new work commissions which continue to circulate in galleries and collections across Australia.

We believe that, by strongly supporting local artists and communities, and connecting them to our national and international peers, we can create greater opportunities and more expansive contexts for a diversity of art practitioners in South Australia.
