Established in 1985, M16 Artspace has been a hub for artistic expression, inclusivity, and creativity in the heart of Canberra.

The M16 Artspace Open Day is an opportunity for the community to connect with our resident studio artists, partake in workshops, and engage with exhibiting artists. This event serves as a vibrant celebration of creativity and culture, bridging the gap between the art space and the community it passionately serves.
