Our vision is to help every creative take off or take a risk.
Our mission is to provide professional services, support and investment for experimental and emerging artists and arts workers across disciplines in the Hunter region so they can make art and learn the business as they grow.
We do our work for experimental, emerging and independent artists and arts workers including art academics, students, researchers, critics, writers and thinkers in the Hunter – Newcastle, Port Stephens, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Cessnock.
We’re redesigning ourselves this year and next to better serve the needs of the artistic community in our area.
