Ainslie and Gorman Centres

Home of CBR Fair Day, the largest celebration of Canberra's wonderful and diverse LGBTIQ communities, Ainslie and Gorman, also hosts the national capital’s largest collective of professional artists and arts companies a stone’s throw from the city centre.

Ainslie and Gorman offer rich opportunities to create, present and enjoy art, to network and collaborate, to teach and learn, and to foster critical discussion and the meeting of creative minds.

We invite you to discover our arts centres and the work of our talented residents.

You’ll be entertained and enriched by the spirit of a genuinely creative precinct where art comes first, and where passionate and enquiring people devote their life and work to turning visions into reality.

Our centres are also ideal places to host a meeting or event or simply to escape the city in the city.

Savour a meal at one of Australia’s finest restaurants, Sage Dining Rooms, unwind in the Mint Garden Bar, or relax in our tranquil heritage gardens.
