aka is an artist-run gallery whose role is to exhibit, interpret, disseminate and promote challenging art. Our venues include a street level gallery space, a second storey billboard space, as well as ad hoc off-site venues we source for specific projects. We are committed to exploring emerging practices that speak to, reflect and encourage dialogue in our culturally diverse community. This includes work in all media by local, national and international artists, indigenous artists, queer, emerging and established artists. aka artist-run is committed to acting as a centre for critical discourse, experimental risk-taking, and as a promoter of artistic self-determination. We foster discussion, build connections between artists, their community and a national audience, and we support emerging practices in all media produced by a diversity of voices. aka artist-run is guided by a series of value-based objectives which help shape our mandate, vision and policies.
