Embodied: Limitless 2025 Commission Series

Limitless is a new major exhibition series designed to enable commissions of significant scale by APA artists. For many of the artists involved, the commissions present an opportunity to develop their largest and most ambitious works to date, creating pathways to further opportunities. This strongly aligns with APA’s mission to see neurodivergent and intellectually disabled artists at the centre of the national and international arts sector, recognised and thriving in their practice. The initiative seeks to establish a new paradigm for artistic practice at APA, one that prioritises risk-taking, collaboration, and innovation. By fostering an environment where artists are mentored and supported, the exhibition becomes a catalyst for both personal and collective growth, challenging APA artists to reimagine the boundaries of their practice. Embodied, the inaugural exhibition in APA’s 2025 creative program, invites artists to consider the body as both a literal and metaphorical framework — be it a vessel of experience, a site of conflict, a space for self-reflection and actualisation, or a form of expression that transcends the material.
