Artspace has announced the commencement of a long-awaited redevelopment for their gallery space The Gunnery in Woolloomooloo, which has housed Artspace since 1993. The redevelopment will mean that the gallery will close until 2022. In the meantime, Artspace will take residence at the National Art School (NAS) in Darlinghurst, a move that captures the full arc of the arts ecosystem, from training to studio and professional practice.
This is not the first time the two arts institutions have come together. Artspace and NAS have worked closely to deliver the NSW Visual Arts Emerging Fellowship program in past years, with curatorial and exhibition support by Artspace to support artists in the early stages of their career, and to challenge and expand their practice.
