Support

Art matters. Art brings us together and encourages us to look afresh at the world. Carriageworks is a Not-for-profit organisation based on the values of diversity, collaboration and inclusion. Your generosity enables us to support artists to develop bold new works and provide cultural experiences for everyone.

 

Projects in Focus

When you donate to Carriageworks, you become part of a creative journey and a passionate community. Join us in supporting these major projects in 2020. Contact Vanessa Duscio vanessa.d@carriageworks.com.au to find out more.

SOUTHEAST  is one of Australia's largest contemporary Aboriginal arts events. In 2020, SouthEast brought together 26 independent artists and collectives with over 200 artworks for sale across ceramics, jewellery, weaving, carving, textiles, sculpture, painting and prints. 100% of proceeds of sales went directly to the artists. SouthEast celebrates tradition today, the sharing of old knowledge and old stories in new ways.  
Solid Ground  is a major initiative from Carriageworks and Blacktown Arts, providing education, training and employment pathways for Indigenous Australian youth. In 2021 Solid Ground will place Indigenous artists-in-residence in Sydney schools; expand the Creative Arts Camp to include students from regional NSW; and continue to facilitate paid internships.

The National New Australian Art 2021  will see over 40 artists involved in producing the 13 projects featured at Carriageworks. Curator Abigail Moncrieff said that the artists selected for Carriageworks respond to the key issues of our time – emphasising sociality, collaborative enquiry and works that speak to history and experiences of place.
