Art Club 2026

Want to learn more about contemporary art and exhibitions? Join the Club.

Art Club brings people together to explore the ins-and-outs of contemporary art. We meet at ACCA to privately tour exhibitions, visit artists’ studios, galleries and offsite exhibitions and invite a range of special guest speakers, artists and curators to share their insights and expertise. Art Club is a welcoming community of art lovers, coming together over a glass of wine and nibbles.

In 2026, Art Club will meet eight times from February to October with ACCA’s curatorial team members, alongside special guests.
