Australian artist-run initiatives
- Australian artist-run initiatives
Australian artist-run initiatives and galleries are found in many places around the country. A few key ones include Firstdraft, MOP (Sydney), KINGS ARI, TCB (Melbourne), Clubs Project inc, West Space, Seventh Gallery, Platform artists group (Melbourne), and Breadbox ARI (Perth). Other important non-gallery artist initiatives include NUCA (Network of UnCollectable Artists), The Invisible Inc., the Artist Funded project, and the Sydney Ladies Artists Club.
Victorian artist-run initiatives
Early examples of artist run initiatives include The Queensbery Street Gallery operated by Melbourne artist Peter Graham in association with Victorian Printmakers' Group between 1973 and 1978.
Artist-run initiatives in Melbourne, Victoria, are promoted by VIA-n, the Victorian Initiatives of Artists Network, a volunteer network that includes more than twenty ARI organisations spread across metropolitan and regional Victoria. In April 2007, VIA-n will be releasing a publication on the history of ARIs in Victoria in conjunction with simultaneous artist-run events across the state.
The Australia Council for the Arts has also produced a comprehensive list of Australian artist-run intitiatives in operation in 2006.
