Arts Project Australia

Arts Project Australia has aimed high since 1974 when we set out to lead and innovate in the arts and disability sectors. Over Art Project Australia’s history, the quality of our exhibitions and artwork created in our studio has flourished, fed by a range of innovative programs and activities.

We were the first full-time art studio in Australia for artists with an intellectual disability and have built a reputation both in Australia and internationally for our achievements on this front. Proof lies in the consistency and quality of the exhibitions and programs that produced and delivered by the gallery, along with the extraordinary opportunities and experiences we have brokered for our artists, who have been included in exhibitions all over the world and are represented in countless public and private collections.

Creativity beyond mortality

Have you ever wondered if someone who is no longer alive could create art? In answer to this question, biological artists Guy Ben-Ary, Nathan Thompson and Matt Ringold, in collaboration with the now deceased Alvin Lucier, have extended the experimental composer’s “ideas about the resonance of sound” for their immersive exhibition, Revivification at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

Sammy Hawker’s acts of co-creation

Under Sammy Hawker’s gentle guidance, whale song takes shape, ocean water becomes collaborator, salt crystals scatter themselves like stars across analogue film, and ashes murmur secrets onto silver nitrate-soaked paper. Through what she terms “facilitated acts of co-creation,” Hawker gives voice to places, materials, and the more-than-human world.

Nikki Lam’s ‘Unshakeable Destiny’

Premiering at the Sydney Film Festival, artist, curator and filmmaker Nikki Lam’s The Unshakeable Destiny trilogy, shot on 16mm, Super 8 and digital, explores her hyphenated identity as a “settler-migrant”, through an upbringing in “city-state” Hong Kong and the enduring influence this has over her artistic practice in Australia.
