ART ON THE MOVE invites applications from Western Australian curators and arts organisations to propose the redevelopment of an existing exhibition which presents an experimental model of touring.

We’re seeking bold, adaptable exhibition proposals that respond to real-world touring conditions. Rather than treating the exhibition as a fixed object, applicants are encouraged to imagine flexible, responsive models that can shift across venues, audiences and geographies.

This could include digital or performance-based works, audience-generated or site-responsive projects, dematerialised or conceptual exhibitions, flat-packed or scalable formats, single-touring works, or other inventive approaches.

The selected SHIFT project/s will receive up to $10,000 in development support with touring to commence in 2027.

Applications close Friday 20 February, 4pm (AWST).
