the ANCA community

Australian National Capital Artists Inc. (ANCA) provides affordable and professional studio and exhibition space to artists.

ANCA is an artist-run initiative supporting over 40 artists working in 35 purpose-built non-residential studios. The studios range in size from 32 to 100 square metres with the option of shared or single occupancy. ANCA is a non-profit organisation financed primarily through income from studio rents which ensures the security of the tenancy and the autonomy of the organisation. ANCA is run by the tenants through a well-structured board, a range of specialised subcommittees and a paid administration.
