Studio

Our light and airy Northcote studio is a creative and accessible space for artists with intellectual disability.

– A COVID SAFE 2021 –

18 January 2021

After primarily operating online through 2020, Arts Project Australia has welcomed staff and back to its Northcote building. The downstairs gallery space is now being used as a second studio to complement the upstairs studio, ensuring social distancing and COVID-safe protocols and allowing as many artists can return to APA and continue their studio practice as possible. The resuming of Satellite Arts, and the form it will take in 2021, will be announced early February.

The gallery will not present exhibitions at Arts Project Australia in the near future; however, we are in the process of securing another gallery space for 2021 and will make an announcement once confirmed.  All online artwork and product orders can be collected from Arts Project Australia by appointment.

As always, we are looking toward the latest news and health advice and will make adjustments as needed.

We look forward to engaging with both artists and supporters over 2021 – whether that be in line or in person.

I highly recommend Arts Project as an empowering
place to work and create.

Our world-class studio program offers these artists access to professional-grade materials, the support of our highly qualified team of staff artists, and the chance to develop their art practice in an integrative, multi-disciplinary environment. To read more about several of our artist’s stories please take a look at our 2014 publication So Far….

A
Through our 2D, Ceramics, Printmaking, Digital, 3D and Professional Practice programs, attending artists have the opportunity to explore, develop and expand their art practice through a range of disciplines. Artists also have the potential to exhibit their artwork, through the Arts Project gallery, external galleries and venues, and the leasing program. Artworks created in this unique environment feature in collections and museums worldwide.

Arts Project Australia provides a safe and supportive environment that encourages the artists to stretch their creativity and artistic practice. I am unsure if artists working alone, or in an environment that wasn’t dedicated to their needs, would demonstrate the same creativity.

At present 120+ artists are enrolled and attend the studio each week, with individual attendances ranging from one day a week to full-time.

ENQUIRE ABOUT HOW TO JOIN

Arts Project is a very professional organisation with a person-centred approach to its artists.  I see a vision to support their artists to create independently and unhindered, always encouraging the development of their skills… Our son has greatly developed his artistic ability over a period of ten years at Arts Project and is establishing himself as an artist with a distinct style that attracts buyers Australia-wide and overseas.
