The three collections featured here all include contemporary Western Australian art - a form of patronage local artists can instantly appreciate. The associated catalogues and books produced are an enduring form of patronage which provide a much needed record of art in Western Australia.

For Paul Greenaway, Director of Greenaway Art Gallery in Adelaide, and motivated by a desire to redress the lack of international awareness of contemporary Australian art, it marked the culmination of seven years of lobbying to have Australia designated the focus nation at the Spanish contemporary art fair.

Turning Artists into Subcontractors: The Artworkers Alliance
An enormous pair of demonstrative hands, one lying supplicant the other pointing metaphorically skywards as a physical reminder to 'look to the heavens' past the encroaching skyscrapers at the over-reaching great sky, is the latest addition to the Brisbane CBD streetscape.
