ACE Open, Contemporary art gallery in Adelaide, Australia
ACE Open is a contemporary art gallery in Adelaide that displays Australian and international works across multiple interconnected spaces. The venue occupies a converted industrial building designed to accommodate various exhibition types and scales.
The gallery was founded in 2017 through a merger of two respected art institutions, the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia and the Australian Experimental Art Foundation. This combination brought together decades of curatorial knowledge and artist support into a single organization.
The gallery presents experimental art and supports artists exploring unconventional forms of visual expression. Visitors encounter works that challenge and expand what contemporary art can be.
The gallery is located within the Lion Arts Centre and offers free access to exhibitions throughout the year. Visitors can drop in during regular hours to explore current shows without advance planning.
The building was originally a factory, and this industrial past shapes how artists create large-scale installations and experimental works today. The raw spaces allow for bold artistic visions that would not be possible in traditional gallery settings.
