Education

Introducing students to the world of contemporary and experimental art.

ACE Education

ACE Education provides meaningful, insightful and culturally informed learning experiences for schools and teachers, connecting students with contemporary art, community, and professional creative practice. Through our programs, ACE supports student learning through hands-on studio experiences, artist-led workshops, and access to industry pathways, while offering teachers professional development in delivering high-quality arts learning. As part of this work, ACE also offers accredited SACE Community Learning opportunities, enabling students to have their creative and cultural development formally recognised within their secondary education.
