Ainslie Arts Centre

Ainslie Arts Centre is a community arts hub housed in the heritage-listed former Ainslie Primary School at 30 Elouera Street, Braddon, in inner-north Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Opened as a school in 1927 and later adapted as an arts centre, it is managed with Gorman Arts Centre. The centre provides artist studios, rehearsal rooms, galleries and workshop spaces, supporting visual arts, music, theatre and community cultural programs in central Canberra.

Visitors can expect a heritage interwar school building adapted into studios, galleries and rehearsal spaces set in landscaped grounds in Braddon, close to Canberra city centre. The centre hosts rotating visual art exhibitions, open studios, workshops, classes and small performances. Public areas include gallery spaces and hall areas, while many studios are working spaces for resident artists and arts organisations. The atmosphere is community-focused and visit experience depends on the current exhibition and event program.
