CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
Over Seas II
Belco Arts invited Canberra region artists who have migrated to Australia to submit their artworks to Over Seas II, an open exhibition exploring migrant and refugee perspectives in our community.
From the political to the personal, and including everything from traditional art forms to contemporary perspectives, artists were invited to share their stories and experience as a migrant to the Canberra community.

Meanwhile in Canberra | Aviva Kidd
Meanwhile in Canberra is a collection of seven bold and whimsical prints that find the extraordinary in a city too often dismissed by outsiders as boringly ordinary.
Capitalising on the distinct visual languages of lino, risograph, and mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock) printmaking, Meanwhile in Canberra celebrates icons such as Telstra Tower, Lake Burley Griffin and the Big Powerful Owl in a fresh and unexpected light.

Seasons, Tides and Lunar Cycles | Andrew Totman
In this series, Totman presents a fresh direction developed from memories of the natural world; an awareness of the influence of environment, weather and the unfathomable depth of galaxy.
Always inspired by light and colour, Totman has taken a glance back to recollections of a childhood fascinated by luminous, stained glass panels in church and the velvety darkness of a star-studded night sky.
Opening Friday February 6
Lines of Landscape | Kym Brookes
This body of work is a tactile exploration of place, memory, and transformation.
Each piece is composed using natural fibres, recycled materials and locally sourced earth pigment elements that speak to both the fragility and resilience of the environment.
Opening Friday February 6
Good Neighbour | Estelle Briedis, Hugo Curtis, Jacky Lo, Isobel Rayson and Dan Venables
How do we live mindfully and with joy and grace? How do we make the world better? How do we live creatively and curiously with ourselves and our world?
What do we actually do to improve our mental health? I find the world outside my door is full of light and joy.
