West Space is proud to present a special 20th anniversary edition of the West Space Annual Fundraiser. Originally called A4 Art, our annual fundraiser is a curated exhibition which features artists who have had an involvement with West Space through exhibitions, publications and committees or who are associated with a West Space staff, board or committee member.

This year’s special 20th Anniversary edition of our much loved Annual Fundraiser is a crucial fundraising opportunity for West Space to raise essential funds that go towards the operational costs of our organisation and reduce rental fees on the spaces for exhibiting artists.

The fundraiser features new works for sale by an exciting selection of emerging and established artists and is a fantastic way to celebrate the community of artists that exist around West Space and in the contemporary arts community more broadly.

Opening night: Tuesday 11 June 2013, 6-9pm.
West Space Patrons Preview: 11 June 2013, 4-6pm.
For more information about our new Patrons Program, visit our Patrons Program page.
Exhibition continues: 12-15 June 2013, 12-6pm.

For a sneak preview of the fundraiser works check out West Space on Instagram.

We are excited to announce the participating artists in 2013 include:

Adam John Cullen is a Melbourne based artist producing mixed media works. He has a Bachelor of Arts, Fine Art RMIT University and Fine Arts Honours from Monash University.
