ART CENTRES, COOPERATIVES & GALLERIES

 

Given the remote situation of many communities and outlets, it is important to contact individual centres to discuss proposed visits, and it is advisable to check timetables again, closer to your intended visit as many are closed throughout January, and exhibition schedules and unforeseen circumstances may impact accessibility from time to time. Some centres may also offer private appointments outside advertised hours.

Artist Estates

​The estates of several deceased artists are managed by galleries rather than art centres. In addition to sales from the estates, in some cases these galleries also manage copyright permissions for their works, rather than through art centres or Vi$copy.
