The art exhibition that has been presented annually by Accessible Arts since 2006, has shifted to a project to be developed over an 18-month period and presented bi-annually.
Hugh Nichols was one of nine people on the AART.BOXX 09 committee, a group of artists, writers, disability workers, arts administrators and even an animatronics expert, who met regularly throughout 2009 to drive and create Accessible Arts' national survey exhibition AART.BOXX 2009.
On Thursday 29 October 2009, more than 250 audience members came to the Mori Gallery in Sydney for the opening of AART.BOXX, Accessible Arts’ national exhibition for artists with disability.
Accessible Arts is presenting its national survey exhibition of works by emerging artists with disability from 30 October to 7 November 2009.News
AART.BOXX committee now calling for members
Applications are now open to artists, arts workers, curators, writers and creative thinkers to form a creative committee and co-ordinate AART.BOXX for 2011. This opportunity is open to people with and without disability.
The AART.BOXX committee aims to function as a hub for critical debate and discussion on the nexus between art and disability in visual arts. The sustained commitment of committee members encourages a responsive approach at every stage of exhibition development.
Facilitated by Accessible Arts, the creative committee is an integral part of the AART.BOXX process, as it aims to develop and support future leaders in inclusive arts practice.
The 5th AART.BOXX exhibition will be held at the Sydney College of the Arts at the SCA gallery in October 2011.
