The artist-run exhibition space has emerged as a site to support research-based, socially conscious artistic practices and to promote exhibitions as opportunities for discourse and collaboration. The artists and directors of several spaces in the region will present their programs, each focused on their diverse, individualized platforms. Of particular interest is how these spaces can support a collaborative and far-reaching conversation within the local artist community by supporting artists of interest both locally and further afield.
