"The arts and crafts workshop and the gallery has a nice collection of items like insects made of ceramic and many cultural objects on display in upper levels."

"I was extremely disappointed with the service from Craft ACT. I purchased online a birthday present but after 2 weeks it still has not arrived 😩
The birthday has since passed - no present
I expect the usual 3 days processing and postage for online purchases but 14 days plus is very disappointing. Hence I will not be a returning customer."

"The latest exhibition is a must see. Check out the creations from emerging contemporary Canberra artists and experience what the locals have to offer. Its always a pleasure to engulf yourself in a gallery space that embraces new talent without that intimidating feeling you sometimes get from the big players in the game"
