West Space is inviting applications for its 2027 West Space Window program, supporting artists to present work in its micro-project space on the public façade of the gallery in Collingwood Yards.
The Window is a small, site-specific project space on the balcony outside West Space’s gallery and office in the Perry Street Building. Artists are encouraged to respond to the Window’s public-facing nature, local context in Yálla-birr-ang (Collingwood) and its physical dimensions.
What West Space offers:
- Presentation in 2027
- Artist fee of $650 to support time and materials for the creation of the work
- Support to seek additional funding for production, travel or freight costs
- A writer to produce an essay responding to the work for publication on West Space’s digital platform, Offsite
- Curatorial support and, where possible, development of a discursive program or workshop
The Window includes two display spaces and is equipped with power access, Bluetooth speakers and 24/7 fluorescent lighting.
Selection criteria:
- Clear and compelling concept
- Suitability for the Window’s size and scale
- Ambition and readiness to participate in the opportunity
- Conceptually rigorous artistic practice demonstrated through support material
