About the Studio Program

ACE is home to five fully-supported, rent-free CBD-based studios for South Australian artists.

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

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 gives residents the space to experiment with their practice and grow their professional careers.

The Studio Program is made possible by partnerships with Creative Partnerships Australia's Plus 1 Program, Helpmann Academy, Adelaide Central School of Art, Firstdraft and Copyright Cultural Fund. It is also supported by the generous contributions of private donors through the Studio Program Donors.⁠
