CONSTANCE Artist-Run Initiative


CONSTANCE is a project based Artist Run Initiative (ARI) based in nipaluna / Hobart. CONSTANCE is focused on creating critical dialogues and engagement within, and beyond, the local Tasmanian arts community through supporting experimental and critical praxis.

CONSTANCE create paid opportunities for early career arts practitioners to develop and present innovative and experimental work in varied settings. CONSTANCE provides artists with peer support, resources, and audience engagement to realise quality projects. CONSTANCE exhibitions are situated in, and responsive to, a wide variety of sites. Projects have occupied historic buildings, vacant real estate, underground spaces, city streets, arts festivals and partnered with conventional galleries.

Grace Herbert was the Chair of Constance ARI from 2015 - 2019 and curated the exhibitions The Pink Palace, how can you tell for sure, HOBIENNALE festivals 2017 & 2019 and every mirror on earth.
