The Links Gallery is an exhibition space dedicated to established artists from Wagga and the Riverina region.

The E3 art space is a separate space that will need to be minded in person.

This exhibition space is designed to offer emerging artists and recent graduates from the Riverina region the opportunity to exhibit and develop their skills in a regional gallery.

Non-profit converts public buildings across New York into affordable studio spaces

As rents in New York reach dizzying heights, the city government has pledged $10m to Spaceworks, a non-profit dedicated to converting overlooked, publicly-owned buildings into affordable studio space for artists. The organisation plans to use the money to launch its most ambitious project yet: 50,000 square feet of affordable studios and community art spaces across two sites in the Bronx. The $10m capital allocation will take effect in 2017 and 2018.

“It’s a borough that is clearly under-resourced in terms of creative space,” says Paul Parkhill, Spaceworks’ executive director. He is also hiring a full-time community organiser based in the area “to make sure there is a grassroots conversation early on, so people know what is happening”.

Spaceworks, which was established in 2011 with support from the former mayor Michael Bloomberg, also opened a 4,400 sq. ft community art space in Brooklyn’s Williamsburgh Library last month. The venue, which was retrofitted with a $650,000 grant from the city’s department of cultural affairs, houses three visual art studios available for between $200 and $400 per month, a performance space and a classroom for public programmes. The organisation received 218 applications for the three studios; winners were sel ected by lottery.

In addition, Spaceworks is preparing to convert a former school on Governors Island in the Upper New York Bay into 40 artist studios and a performance space, which will add an additional 20,000 sq. feet to its portfolio. Parkhill estimates that Spaceworks needs to operate “in the ballpark” of 100,000 to 150,000 sq. ft of studio space in order to be self-sufficient. "To have a citywide impact long term, we have to do this at scale,” he says.
