Final 'Making Art Work' commissions now live

7 December 2020

Today we are excited to launch the latest and final round of Making Art Work projects.

Over the last seven months 47 artists, writers, collectives, and facilitators responded to the provocations of Unprecedented Times, Permanent Revolution, Relief Measures, and Industrial Actions. Collectively these projects demonstrate the value and ‘use’ of art in 2020—to document, speculate, bring together, and create change through their work.

Head online to makingart.work and visit IMA Belltower to see new works by Maeve Baker, Richard Bell, Jacquie Chlanda, Digi Youth Arts, Channon Goodwin, Daisy Hamlot, Rachael Haynes, Inkahoots, Mia McAuslan & Jon Tjhia, Amelia McLeish, and Liesel Zink.

Looking to 2021, plans are now underway for a publication, creating an archive of Making Art Work projects alongside new contextual essays.

Finally—as the silly season approaches—we invite you to browse the products and editions created through Making Art Work for a unique gift that helps support artists through our exhibition program.

Making Art Work is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

IMA Belltower at the Judith Wright Arts Centre

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
