Alliance Française as a cultural center

As a cultural center, one of our missions is to promote art and cultural exchanges. Therefore, we search for contemporary, innovative, challenging forms, and we encourage French, Francophile and Australian artists to exhibit on our walls.

What you need to be an exhibitor at the Alliance?

If you’re an artist and you think exhibiting on our walls would benefit you, contact us by mail marketing@afcanberra.com.au or call us on 02 6257 6696.  

What we offer?

You install your artworks on our walls, we take care of the promotion of the exhibition and the opening night. You benefit from:

• OUR LOCATION

We have two large exhibition rooms, and their walls are waiting for your artworks! We are also ideally situated, close to the city and O’Connor shops.

• OUR NOTORIETY

Every year, we grant the Alliance Française Exhibition Award to young artists from the ANU, through the Emerging Artists Support Scheme (EASS). This has helped increase our positive image in the artistic milieu.

• OUR COMMUNICATION TOOLS

We will promote the exhibition in our monthly e-newsletter (more than 9000 subscribers), on our Facebook page (more than 5000 followers), on our Instagram account (more than 3000 followers) and among our students (more than 500 per term and growing every term).

• OUR NETWORK

Exhibitions of your works can be organised in other Alliances Françaises. There are 100 Alliances in the Pacific region!
