Subscribed | 2026 Craft + Design Canberra Annual Members Exhibition

Event

Subscribed is the name and theme of the 2026 Craft + Design Canberra Annual Members Exhibition. From trends and traditions to tools, techniques and social currents, creative lives are shaped by influence. Sometimes it is inherited. Sometimes it is resisted. Sometimes it is quietly reinvented.

This year, the Craft + Design Canberra Annual Members Exhibition invites its community of artists and makers to explore the idea of following. What guides the hand, habits and decisions of a maker? What is held onto, and what is left behind?

Featuring contemporary craft and design from across the ACT and surrounding region, the exhibition brings together diverse practices that blend time-honoured techniques with fresh ideas and experimental approaches. Together, the exhibition offers a snapshot of contemporary making that is thoughtful, playful and at times quietly subversive.

Artists include Amy Schleif, Angharad Dean, Anna Williams, Brenda Runnegar, Cathy Franzi, Debra Jurss, Elliott Fox, Fran Romano, Harrison Le Lievre, Isaac Kozlovskis, Jennifer Kemarre Martiniello OAM (Lower Southern Arrernte), Jessika Spencer (Wiradjuri), Jo Victoria, Julie Bradley, Lisa Cahill, Lynn Petersen, Madeline Cardone, Melanie Olde, Melinda Capp, Michele Grimston, Monique van Nieuwland, Rosalie Rose, Rosalie Ryan, Rozalie Sherwood, Ruth Hingston, Sharon Peoples, Sue Hewat, Sue Peachey, Susan Buret, Suzanne Knight, Taryn Powick and Ximena Natanya Briceño.
