artsConnect promotes Australian artists of all media on the internet - from filmmakers, painters, poets, musicians, actors, sculptors, designers, fire artists, fashion designers, graffiti artists, jewellery designers, performing artists, writers etc.

artsConnect is based on Manly Corso on the northern beaches of Sydney. Established by Teresa Charchalis in February 2002, and developed with assistance from the NEIS government program (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme), artsConnect has grown to be a large and very active art portal in Australia.

There are over 500 artists, troupes and resources profiled on artsConnect, and in June 2007 over 75,000 visitors browsed the artsConnect. Visitors can contact artists directly via their profile regarding paid commission work and exhibitino opportunities, there is no fee for referrals received through artsConnect.

In July 2006 the National Library of Australia added artsConnect in its archive of nationally significant online publications. This means the entire artsConnect is digitally recorded within the National Library of Australia's database, and will be accessible for research by future generations to come.

Artists are invited to Register for a one page web profile that outlines their creative interests, shows examples of their work and provides a contact for others to connect with them. artsConnect has successfully connected hundreds of artists with galleries, private art buyers, event organisers, corporates and festivals.

The South Project

One must have a proper moral sense about the points of the compass; North must seem the ‘good' direction, the way towards heroic adventures, South the way to ignoble ease and decadence'. (15/05/1954)
Peter Davidson The Idea of North London: Reaktion, 2005, p. 99

The ‘south' is a curious proposition. How do you give meaning to what is merely a direction? And unlike the ‘north', which is inscribed with Nordic sagas and European romanticism, the south seems a relatively blank slate. Any ‘project' that seeks to realise the ‘idea of south' seems more about inventing a new identity than uncovering a lost one.

The South Project is initiated and managed by Craft Victoria
