Canberra Contemporary Art Space (CCAS) has announced the upcoming departure of its Director, Janice Falsone, who will step down in mid-January 2025 after nearly three years of dedicated leadership.

During her tenure, Falsone has driven significant growth and renewal at CCAS, enhancing support for artists and audiences, securing increased government funding and philanthropy, and refocusing its programming. She led the delivery of an impactful exhibition program, providing vital platforms for both local and national artists to create ambitious, career-defining works. Falsone also introduced the annual mural commission, revitalised the project space program, expanded the staff team and directed a major rebranding, set to be revealed in the coming weeks. Her leadership, marked by a strong commitment to early- and mid-career artists and collaboration has elevated CCAS’s profile and established a solid foundation for its continued growth.
