Abbotsford Convent launches c3Contemporary Art Space

c3 is a non-profit contemporary art space located within the basement of the historic Abbotsford Convent building.
Forming a key element to the Convent’s arts, cultural and education precinct, the gallery will present an innovative and engaging approach to the presentation of contemporary exhibitions, across all forms of artistic practice. It will also provide professional opportunities and support to artists at all stages of their careers.
Situated in an iconic building with a ground level entrance facing heritage gardens and the Yarra River, c3 offers a unique platform for contemporary community culture. The Abbotsford Convent precinct receives upwards of 25,000 visitors each month, from all walks of life.
It is c3’s mission to provide a calendar of exhibitions that represents a confluence of ideas expanding outwards from each gallery. With the structure of three galleries, each with differing intellectual projects, c3 can exhibit combinations of shows that will stimulate a large and divergent art crowd.
