Art et al.

An international platform connecting artists from supported studios

In 2020, founding partners, Arts Project Australia, Slominski Projects, and Jennifer Lauren Gallery, identified a need for more inclusive programming and access in the contemporary arts for neurodivergent, intellectually, and learning disabled artists to be seen, heard, and participate.

In 2021, they formed Art et al. – an international platform that connects artists from supported studios with international peers, arts professionals, and audiences. Art et al.’s global collaborations and partnerships result in commissioned critical writing, exhibitions, and original multi-media content.

Art et al. has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council of the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body, Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Aesop Foundation, Arts Project Australia, Slominski Projects, and Jennifer Lauren Gallery.

Art et al. and Arts Project Australia Peer/Peer Collaborations

The Peer/Peer Collaborations foster connections for new artwork to be created informed by new artistic relationships. Art et al. supports the coordination of regular communication and collaboration an artist pair over a 3 month period.

Artists are encouraged to connect digitally, having regular conversations over Zoom or through shared video content, with the creative output taking any form, and in any medium or scale – made individually or collaboratively.
