About Re/ Artists Collective

Re/ Artists Collective champions predominantly female, marginalised, and underrepresented artists – with charity at the core. Our aim is to curate career-launching exhibitions for artists, whilst contributing to charity through ticket sales, fundraising, and a portion of artwork sales (at the artist’s discretion).

Why ‘Re/’?

The name Re/ lends itself to thematic prompts for every exhibition. Think Re/birth, Re/generation, Re/creation, Re/purpose, Re/cycle, Re/use, Re/live, and so much more. We curate thoughtful exhibitions that give artists the opportunity to stretch their skills and create bodies of work that contribute meaningfully to social commentary.

How Re/ supports charities

We partner with a different charity for each exhibition, raising funds through ticket sales and donations. Artists may also choose to donate a portion of artwork sales to our charity partners. It’s entirely up to you!

What’s in it for the artists?

Re/ Artists Collective offers a platform for artists to showcase their talents, network with art professionals, make a living, and contribute to the community through charity alignment. We support female, marginalised, and underrepresented artists in all creative remits – from painters to sculptors to photographers to jewellery artists. Local economies will be bolstered through gallery space hire, catering, logistics, installation, and bringing visitors to the area to appreciate
the arts.

How do artists join the Collective?

Re/ Artists Collective holds regular exhibitions of between 15-20 artists. We put call-outs on our website and Instagram for artists in certain areas to submit a body of work they believe suits the theme for that exhibition. We also keep a database of artists who contact us to express their interest in exhibiting, curating exhibitions that suit the artists’ subject matter, style, and ethos. Artists then pay a flat fee of $500 in two instalments of $250, which covers:

  • Gallery hire

  • Press release copywriting

  • Media outreach

  • Pre and post exhibition publicity

  • Local ‘what’s on’ listing

  • Paid digital advertising

  • Organic social media

  • Ticketing

  • Email marketing

  • Photography

  • Alcohol

  • Bartenders

  • Glass hire

  • Installation / removal support*

  • Installation / removal materials and tools*

  • AV hire

  • Artist profile on the Re/ Artists Collective website

  • Advertising collateral design and copywriting

  • Dossier design, copywriting and distribution

  • Exhibition curation

  • Art industry networking

  • Gallery walk-throughs

  • Virtual WIP meetings

*Artists are responsible for the delivery, installation and removal of their own pieces. Re/ Artists Collective staff and an installation contractor will be on-site to assist with installation and removal, plus provide screws, electric drills, hammers, D-rings, pencils, and measuring tapes. Re/ Artists staff and contractors take every measure of care when assisting artists to install and remove their works, however the artist is responsible for the care of their own works and the security of their works at exhibitions. Please see our Terms and Conditions page for more information.

Once you have exhibited with Re/ Artists Collective, you are a lifelong member of the collective. This means your profile will stay up on our website, directing traffic to your own website and social platforms.

You can exhibit with us as many times as you like - there is no limit. And if you miss out on selection for a specific exhibition, we aim to create subsequent exhibitions from the overflow of artists.

There is room for us all!
