West Space Projects

West Space Projects are programmed to run alongside our application-based program and provide support to artist-initiated/ developed exhibitions, publications, sound releases, performances, international exchanges and forums.

These ambitious projects negotiate innovative approaches to cultural debate, production, presentation, collaboration and exchange. They extend across artforms and into non-arts areas. The West Space Projects Program enables West Space to actively generate, contribute to and support quality cultural development, alongside performing the more usual artist-run-space role of presenting an application-based exhibition program.
