In 2020 SSAC’s new building and purpose built exhibition spaces were completed with thanks to the City of Bunbury & Lotterywest.

These exhibition spaces can be used for exploration and experimentation with an inclusive approach to creativity. SSAC accepts proposals through a yearly call to artists, and priority will be given to South West artists and groups. Applications are open to early, emerging, and mid-career artists, creative community groups, collectives and curators.

The exhibition spaces are in the Hallway and Studio 6. Exhibition Floor Plan
