BLAZE, the long-established emerging artist showcase by Canberra Contemporary Art Space, is making its hotly anticipated return. Opening at CCAS Lakeside in November, this exhibition spotlights artists with ties to Kamberri/Canberra and who are at the beginning of their careers. Just like its previous editions, BLAZE features bold and challenging artworks, celebrating the current scene and the rising stars. This year's edition features the work of six artists, working across installation, painting, printmaking and sculpture.
