CONVERGENCE: Regional Perspectives
26 July - 23 August 2025

This diverse exhibition brings together distinctive artistic voices from regional supported studios in Victoria and Albury-Wodonga.

CONVERGENCE challenges metropolitan-centric narratives by platforming creators whose geographical distance from cultural centres limits broader arts connections and opportunities. The exhibition features work by seven emerging and mid-career artists whose differing perspectives offer fresh insights into contemporary themes and regional experiences.

Artists featured include Helen Butcher and Jessica Madden (ArtGusto), Stella Childs (The Art Factory Albury), Housecat (Find Your Voice Collective), Stephen Hancock and Alex McKenzie (Artmania), and George Macaronis (Studio 92).

Art et al. | Inclusive, curated international art platform from Australia and UK partners.

Art et al. commissions and presents collaborations between artists from supported studios, artist peers and arts professionals.

In 2020, founding partners, Arts Project Australia, Slominski Projects, and Jennifer Lauren Gallery, identified a need for more inclusive programming and access in the contemporary arts for neurodivergent, learning or intellectually disabled artists to be seen, heard, and participate. As a result, they formed Art et al. – an international platform that mainly connects artists from supported studios with international peers, arts professionals, and audiences. 

Art et al. is now led by Slominski Projects, Jennifer Lauren Gallery and Jump Left. Its grant-funded global collaborations and partnerships result in commissioned critical writing, new artwork, exhibitions, and original multi-media content.
