Artist-run initiatives

Artist-run initiatives are collaborative projects or spaces created and managed by artists themselves, aimed at promoting art and culture outside traditional galleries and institutions. These initiatives often focus on showcasing emerging artists, supporting experimental practices, and fostering community engagement. They can take various forms, such as galleries, studios, workshops, or performance spaces, and are often driven by a desire for artistic freedom and creativity. By prioritizing inclusivity and collaboration, artist-run initiatives help to democratize access to art and provide vital platforms for diverse voices in the art world.
