About CCC

Canberra Critics Circle: The 35 year-old Canberra Critics’ Circle is the only such group of critics in Australia that runs across all the major art forms, not just performing arts. The circle changes each year depending on who is writing or broadcasting on the arts in Canberra. Our aim is to provide a focal point for Canberra reviewers in print and electronic media through discussions and forums. As well, awards are made at the discretion of Circle members to Canberra Region artists. The CCC has always resisted making awards in “best-of” categories. Arts practice is not a competitive race and Canberra is a small pool where it would be ridiculous to pre-impose categories, apart from major art form genres. The idea is that we, the critics, single out qualities we have noticed -- things which have struck us as important. These could be expressed as abstracts, like impact, originality, creativity, craftsmanship and excellence. The views expressed are solely those of the individuals providing them and do not reflect the opinions of the Canberra Critics Circle itself. Our year is from September 30 2025 to September 30 2026. Convener of the Circle is Helen Musa.
