Australian Centre for Contemporary Art

The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) is Melbourne’s dynamic, major public contemporary art space, presenting changing seasons of international and Australian exhibitions, events and public programs.

The artistic program combines adventurism, emotion and intellectual rigor to provide a constantly challenging and exciting experience for visitors.

Designed by Melbourne based architects, Wood Marsh, ACCA’s distinctive steel building opened its doors to the public in October 2002.

The landmark rust red structure delivers spaces that are unique, sophisticated and majestically scaled. From the outside it appears like a timeless monolith presenting a dynamic, sculptural form that hints at the excitement within.

ACCA is committed to combining the best of international and Australian contemporary art in a range of innovative exhibitions that encourage dialogue around a broad range of social and cultural issues.

In addition to bringing some of the latest and most significant work by living artists from around the world to Melbourne audiences, the program offers progressive Australian artists the opportunity to exhibit alongside their international peers.
