Bus Projects

After twenty-two years of operation, Bus Projects is one of the longest-running artist-run initiatives (ARIs) in Narrm Melbourne and has made a significant contribution to the vibrancy and diversity of the city’s arts culture.

In 2023, Bus Projects relocated to its new home in Brunswick East at 7 Little Miller Street. The new stand-alone space houses two gallery spaces.

65,000 Years brings truth telling to art history

65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art is an extraordinary account of the unique art of this continent, published alongside a landmark exhibition at the Potter Museum of Art. Necessary and urgent, it tells the story of Indigenous Australian art; a new art history unlike anything we’ve seen. For Jane O’Sullivan, it’s a remarkable and must-read book.
