Every year CCAS exhibits the best of the region's emerging contemporary artists in a survey called BLAZE. Artists previously exhibited in the annual survey have gone on to participate in prestigious exhibitions interstate and overseas including Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Sydney Biennale and The National Digital Portraiture Prize. BLAZE has become synonymous with propelling local artists onto the national and international stage, and is a highly sought after entreé into the art world for recent graduates.

BLAZE FOURTEEN is the first show at CCAS’s new home on Lake Burley Griffin. Curated by Alexander Boynes and Dan Toua, the exhibition features Romany Fairall, Belle Palmer, Harijs Piekalns and Rachel Theodorakis. Meticulously created, the works in this exhibition have been woven, glued, drawn and stenciled, and are the result of many months in the making.
