The Cross Art Projects is a not-for-profit curatorial initiative founded by Jo Holder in September 2003 and run by a small group of independent curators. In late 2009 we moved to 8 Llankelly Place after working at 33 Roslyn Street in Kings Cross in tandem with The Cross Books. The old space continues as a curator run-space with changing formats every two years. (Formerly The Drawing Room now Affiliated Text).
Manifesto: The Cross Art Projects foregrounds contemporary work that reflects the multiple relationships between art and life, art and the public sphere and explores the boundaries of this context. We are attentive to the local without sacrificing the scope of an international view. The Cross Art Projects presents curated exhibitions and work by artists who create critical projects that question and/or reflect our present circumstances and whose work has a rigorous conceptual foundation. Projects are enhanced with conversations and round-tables by local activist, architectural and heritage groups.
We acknowledge and respect all Traditional Owners & Custodians on whose Lands we live, work and travel through, in Australia and overseas.
