We are excited to announce that, as part of our current project, Made Public, we will be hosting our popular discussion group for members, OFFSITE. This will also mark the first time the discussion group will be held both in-person and online, with two sessions taking place to ensure all members can participate. The session on Tuesday 31 May will take place on Zoom, and the session on 4 June will take place in the gallery.

What is OFFSITE: approximately two hour session.

What do you do: a) present a work-in-progress/ idea for discussion, or b) just be present and willing to talk, share thoughts and explore

This call for participation is open to any creative practitioners including curators, visual artists, writers, and educators.

To sign up, see the links below:

Tuesday 31 May (online) - Sign up here.

Saturday 4 June (in person) - Sign up here.

The lack of communal settings over the past few years gave us the idea to create a temporary space to allow for conversation and community to develop with our Members: OFFSITE. Catalyst Arts is providing an opportunity for Members to be a part of two group sessions with like-minded art practitioners to explore your practice or a recent topic of research you are working on.

Through the creation of a shared platform, or a temporary members collective, we wish to provide space for artists to work through processes and think about ideas. Instead of adhering to the pressure to show only outcome based or ‘finished’ projects with peers, can we see process as practice?

*Please note - This is a Catalyst Arts Members opportunity, you can become a member through our Patreon page. Being a member is a great way to support Catalyst Arts and have access to exclusive member opportunities throughout the year.

Creating a safe space for conversations to happen is important to us, and therefore the sessions will not be recorded.
