Art Programme (AP) is a small, arts' organisation based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
AP was formed by artists and writers for artists, writers, thinkers, and filmmakers to come together to critically explore contemporary ideas and developments in studio practice, art, film, politics, and philosophy.
AP is a non-exploitative employer that respects the knowledges and specialisations of all its facilitators and participants.
We aim to keep our costs as low as possible, without compromising a fair renumeration for our presenters and guests. We support the Code of Practice established by the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) (Australia).

Our ethos
[AP] is a post-institutional collective with years of experience and specialist knowledges.
We recognise the limitations that institutions and bureaucracies place on creative thinking and are intent on maintaining a supportive environment in which all participants feel free to explore new ideas in confidence and without judgement.
This extends to our studio pracs and crits which are led by experienced artists who ensure that all feedback is constructive, empathetic, and relevant in the context of current contemporary art practices.
[AP] functions as a flexible organising system of unranked independent elements that can be arranged/rearranged, depending on the task at hand. As a ‘heterarchy’, we actively resist hierarchical ordering.
