2015 proved to be an exciting and interesting year for the visual arts in the ACT and region. As usual there was a plethora of exhibitions and as usual variations in standards, content, media, etcetera made viewing these a challenging experience each time. My top five are not presented in any particular order and I apologise for the many omissions of excellent work from this necessarily limited selection. My choices are as idiosyncratic as the art that I have looked at during 2015.
