CHROMATIC CIRCLE Tuggeranong Arts Centre is a year-long, queer-led creative program offering monthly, arts-based sessions on Saturday afternoons. The program is designed to build community connection, visibility, and a sense of belonging for LGBTQIA+ people and allies.

Each month, participants are invited to explore a different art form, facilitated by LGBTQIA+ artists, musicians, filmmakers, and creative producers. Programmed by emerging artist Isaac Kozlovskis, each session is intentionally low-pressure, welcoming, and accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and levels of creative experience.

Welcome to Looking Under the Hood – a podcast all about helping you to Unpacking Money so you can move towards financial freedom.

Craft + Design Canberra is proud to present four remarkable exhibitions opening simultaneously on Thursday 11 June 2026 including Reclamation by Wiradjuri weaver Jessika Spencer, Edge of Presence by acclaimed glass artist Brenda Page, Loop, Hook, Loom celebrating Sophia Cai's new art book, and Veins of Air by glass artist Akie Haga.

Across these four distinct bodies of work, a shared sensibility emerges: the belief that material holds memory. Whether in fibre gathered from Country, glass drawn from fire, or breath traced in organic form, each artist asks us to slow down, pay attention and recognise what endures.

Craft + Design Canberra is a not-for-profit organisation which supports artists, craft practitioners, designers and makers at every stage of their careers. We promote and celebrate excellence and innovation in contemporary craft in everything we do – in our retail space, exhibitions, events and me...
