about accd
exhibition
Melbourne's leading centre for contemporary art and design ideas, ACCD has continued to build on its innovative origins, growing to facilitate the expanding field of contemporary art through a wide variety of exhibition, studio, curatorial and education programs.
progress
Since 1985, we have accumulated a vast alumni of past exhibiting and studio artists and designers including some of Australia's leading names in contemporary art. Every artist who has represented Australia at the Venice Biennial since 1999 has either held a studio or participated in an exhibition at ACCD.
Expanding
Australia's most pivotal contemporary artists has expanded in recent years to include our increasing international presence, with leading artist and curators from all over the world exhibiting in our galleries and staying in our studios. As a key generator for ideas in Australia, and with the momentum of our history behind us, ACCD is now the oldest, continually running contemporary art and design centre in Australia.
