ABOUT THE 2025 ACE ANNUAL STUDIO PROGRAM
ACE is home to fully-supported, rent-free CBD-based studios for South Australian artists.
The ACE Annual Studio Program provides year-long professional development opportunities, including 24/7 access to studios above the ACE gallery, studio visits with Australian and international curators, participation in live programs, curatorial mentorship from ACE, and prominent profiling and promotional opportunities.
It is the only program of its kind in the state, available exclusively to South Australia artists, and serves as an invaluable pathway for artists to gain national recognition. Working as part of a cohort of fellow artists, the Annual Studio Program gives residents the space and support to experiment, expand their practice and grow their professional careers.
There are three studio spaces available via this open call out.
ABOUT THE 2025 ACE x FIRSTDRAFT SHORT-TERM RESIDENCY
The 2025 ACE x firstdraft Short-term Residency offers one South Australian artist the opportunity to develop and present a solo exhibition at firstdraft, Sydney. The artist will receive a 3-month studio residency at ACE with 24/7 access to the studios above the ACE gallery, sharing a creative, collaborative environment with the ACE Annual Studio Program artists. This residency is supported by an artist fee, materials budget and travel bursary, with the focus on a specific project in preparation for the artist’s interstate exhibition. This opportunity provides a unique chance to gain national recognition, expand professional networks, and collaborate within a dynamic studio environment.
