Agency

COLLECT

Acquiring works through Craft ensures a distinct collection – we draw no boundaries across genres, we embrace functional and sculptural, experimental and traditional, art and craft. Breaking from traditional gallery models, we give agency to the artists we work with, providing them with creative freedom to generate transformative outcomes on their own terms. We build both private and corporate collections by developing unique art strategies to inform selection, alongside collection management plans for asset care.

We embrace a collaborative spirit, working directly with artists and getting close to the making. Together we strengthen the creative ecosystem, to secure the future of independent making in Australia.
