AART.BOXX 08 in review
AART.BOXX 08 engaged over 170 guests during opening night. The exhibition was a survey show of works by young and emerging artists with a disability from across Australia and was viewed by 300 visitors, over the three-week duration of the exhibition.
Over half of the works on exhibition sold to art collectors, local galleries and art lovers, reflecting the quality of the works.
The inclusion of public programs such as artist talks by local and interstate artists encouraged discussion and dialogue between artist and audience. These artists included NSW based ceramic artist Honey Crawford and Queensland based artist Tim Sharp who presented some of the ever-evolving adventures of Laser Beak Man.
AART.BOXX 08 saw the introduction of tailored access tours to the exhibition, which enabled people from disability support services to respond to the exhibition through their own art making in the gallery.
