Our rationale is to provide an exhibition space for emerging and established artists with a program spanning solo, group and curated shows.

Blindside's role is to support and promote contemporary art practice. We provide an environment for experimentation and encourage the creation and presentation of art works that are challenging and innovative. The program fosters exchanges between local and interstate artists. We also maintain a framework of assistance and mentoring for emerging artists, curators and writers, facilitating critical dialogues.
