The Australian Centre for Photography (ACP) was a not-for-profit photography gallery in Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia that was established in 1973 and which also provided part-time courses and community programs.
One of the longest running contemporary art spaces in Australia,[1] after a shutdown from 16 December 2020 pending a restructure,[2] it was acquired in October 2022 by the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences and relaunched as Powerhouse Photography.[3] Powerhouse will continue and expand on ACP programs with commissions, acquisitions, publications, learning and research activities dedicated to the promotion and development of photography in Australia.
The Australian Centre for Photography published Photofile, a biannual photography journal,[4] from 1983.
