totally free!
This guide is full of information about all of Arc’s services

pot of creative talent - don’t let it slip through your fingers!
1.4 Our teamwerk game is strong.
How great are mates? How great are mates that, like, think
all the same things as you at the same time as you do? How
great are projects you can work on with your mates? UNSW

and collaborations such as the Kingpins, Claire Healy & Sean
Cordeiro, Brown Council, Ms&Mr, Soda_Jerk, Greedy Hen,
Province & loads more. Currently there are many collectives
on campus such as the Life Drawing Society and Make Club,
but you can also start your own! Here at Arc we believe v.

What is Kudos
Gallery?
What is the White
Cube Program?
Kudos Gallery is a professional
exhibition space for artists, curators and
designers to explore and present their
work beyond the realm of the studio.
In 2015 Kudos Gallery is running a
brand new volunteer program. This new
program offers a lot more than what you
would usually expect when volunteering
at a gallery and will give you the handson skills they don’t teach you in class,
but you are expected to know when
you start your career. We want our
partipants to get as much as they can
out of their time, so we offer more
learning experiences and opportunities
to work directly in the gallery and with
the artists. The program aims to better
your marketing, installing, writing and
people skills as well as giving you
experience with bar and gallery minding.
From 1st Year to PhD, Kudos Gallery
offers a supportive environment for
students to showcase their ideas
and take risks whilst developing an
exhibition profile at university.
Since 1998, Kudos Gallery has been
host to some of Sydney’s most
exciting artists, curators and writers
and continues to be a fertile ground
for provocative concepts, innovative
technologies and cutting edge art forms
and styles.
For each volunteer, the program will only
run for a short period of time, as you will
be working closely with one exhibition

Physical Wellbeing
MENTAL HEALTH
I AM COMPOSED OF 85% KICK-ASS AND 15% CRIPPLING SELF
DOUBT.
This is a common experience of many who pursue their
passion for creativity. Most of the time things are going
amazingly. The opportunities, the recognition, not to
mention the chance to pursue your passion. But there
are times when the shit hits the fan.. and it’s important to
remember that there is help available.
TIPS
yoga, meditation
regular exercise (30mins of cardiovascular a day ideally why not try walking to campus from Central)
eat well and regularly. Arc supply free lunches and the
Student Council do free smoothies and free toast days
every week.
sleep. if you are not getting enough, google ‘sleep hygiene’
Recognise and plan for the tough times - for example,
exam time and other times that cause you stress
it’s hard to find time with work and uni pressures but
participate in an extracurricular activity: gallery crawls,
exhibition openings, artist talks etc.
One of the major symptoms of depression and anxiety is
a feeling of hopelessness and isolation. Know there are
solutions - you are not alone, there is help available. if you
have a history of depression, anxiety or other mental health
conditions you can register with the Student Equity and
Disabilities Unit (SEADU).
Counselor. Chat to the counselor on first floor G Block,

5. Sydney Artist Run Initiatives (ARI’s)
Artist-run initiatives (or ARIs) are a great option for
emerging artists wishing to exhibit. ARIs allow artists,
predominantly ‘emerging’ artists who have not yet
broken into the commercial gallery circuit, a professional
exhibition playground to experiment, realise projects,
establish a profile and gain traction around their practice.
Many curators and commercial gallerists regularly attend
exhibitions at ARIs in order to track the development of
emerging artists. It is often through exhibiting at ARIs that
artists gain visibility and proceed to the next stage of their
careers, i.e exhibiting within the commercial gallery and
public institution circuit.
ARIs are, as the name suggests, run by practicing artists,
usually on a volunteer basis. Some are self-supported
while others receive grants and funding from a variety
of sponsors or the Government. To hold an exhibition,
interested artists are required to submit an exhibition
proposal. The proposal is assessed, often by a board of
directors or a selection committee. ARIs are great to get
involved with either through exhibiting or volunteering.
Here are a few ARIs close to UNSW Art & Design that you
should definitely check out!

6. Commercial Galleries
Commercial Galleries are an important part of the art world.
They are privately operated businesses that draw their profit
from the selling of art objects. Commercial Galleries usually
operate with a carefully selected stable of artists who they
‘represent’ and promote under contract. For the artists they
represent, a commercial gallery will usually stage regular
in-house exhibitions, produce catalogues and invitations,
maintain visual material for promotional purposes, archive
promotional activities as well as pursue ongoing sales and
exhibition opportunities outside the gallery. They will also
cultivate collectors
It is important to note that most artists in Australia will never
achieve representation by a commercial gallery; this is not a
marker of failure, though. There are various avenues through
which artists can engage, fund and present projects as well as
support their income.
Additionally, it is very rare that artists will enter the
commercial gallery exhibition circuit straight from ‘finishing’
art school. It usually takes time and the development of a
studio and business practice before commercial recognition is
achieved.
