Australian artist-run initiatives
Australian artist-run initiatives are a series of artist-run initiatives and galleries found throughout Australia. A few key spaces include FELTspace (Adelaide); LEVEL and Boxcopy (Brisbane); The Walls Art Space (Gold Coast); BUS Projects, KINGS ARI, TCB, Clubs Project inc, West Space, Seventh Gallery, Yarra Sculpture Gallery, Blindside and Trocadero Art Space, Exit Strategy Studios (Melbourne); Free Range (Perth); Firstdraft, MOP and Serial Space (Sydney); and Project Contemporary Artspace (Wollongong).
Academic and historian Paul Andrew currently runs the ARI Remix project which collects contemporary information and lists archival information about Australian based ARIs.
Funded by a three year Australian Research Council Fellowship Dr Maria Miranda researched the cultural economy of artist-run initiatives across Australia. Studio visits for all were documented in a blog 2013-2018. This research included visiting artist spaces across the country, including the often overlooked "Aboriginal Art Centres in Arnhem Land and outside Alice Springs and regional art spaces".
