Meet ACE's 2022 Studio Program artist cohort

When

Adelaide Contemporary Experimental

13 August 2022

12:00pm to 5:00pm

Access

Visit the upstairs studios at ACE for an exclusive opportunity to meet our current Studio Program artists in their working spaces.

The five ACE Studio Program artists — Ash Tower, Chelsea Farquhar, Cecilia Tizard, Dani Reynolds and Shaye Dương — will open their studios, giving the public a special opportunity to step inside the studio spaces above the gallery.

Alongside the exhibition, Allison has worked in collaboration with designer Tyrone Ormsby to produce an artist book. Featuring still photography taken by Allison during the development of Skin Shade Night Day, the book further illuminates her distinct and mesmerising viewpoint.

With refreshments available on the day (from ACE sponsors Charlotte Dalton Wines and Bowden Brewing), this is an exclusive opportunity for the public to drop by ACE and glimpse into the studios of leading South Australian contemporary artists.

About the ACE Studios

ACE’s annual Studio Program supports five South Australian artists through a fully funded onsite studio residency. It is the only program of its kind in the state and is an invaluable pathway for artists to gain national recognition. Working as part of a cohort of fellow  artists, the Studio Program allows residents to experiment and develop their practice.

The ACE Studio Program  provides professional development opportunities including studio visits with Australian and international curators; participation in public programs; mentorships by ACE staff, and prominent profiling and promotional opportunities.
