The Academy Library is an enthusiastic supporter of local artists
and provides a free exhibition space. There are usually five to
six different exhibitions each year and these give our students,
staff and visitors an opportunity to experience artworks that
they may not normally see in an academic library.
Information about the Art Exhibition Space can be obtained by
contacting Mr Jeff Doyle at the School of Humanities and Social
Science on 02 6268 8905 or jc.doyle@adfa.edu.au.
