Artist-run initiatives (ARIs) are incubators for emerging artists and the art stars of the near future. Run by visual artists, curators and writers, ARIs range from galleries, art spaces and residencies to publications and temporary events. No matter what form they take, ARIs support the work of local and international contemporary artists, taking you directly to the source of the city’s most cutting-edge artistic output. Over 2009 we will be creating projects bringing focus to these ARIs which includes creating a map and guide to 26 Sydney ARIs - the map will be available from featured ARIs and Avant Card distribution points, as well as online.
