CAGE
In 2005 the manager at South Kingsville Community Centre realised that the corridor walls would be a great area for displaying artworks by local artists. With funding provided by the South Kingsville Community Craft Group and assistance from Hobson’s Bay City Council the area was developed to allow for the hanging of artworks.
In 2006 CAGE was established.
CAGE is a vibrant art space available to the community to exhibit their artworks and hold associated events. It is a not-for-profit community service as deemed important by the local community, focussed to support emerging artists and community groups who wish to display their artwork, contribute to local cultural environment, and raise their profile.
CAGE is situated in the hallway of SKCC, a community centre that strives to offer something for everyone and is responsive to community needs. It is frequented by regular community user groups, and also people attending the centre for functions and events. On average over 1000 people access the Centre during the week.
CAGE has been utilised by local artists and groups of people with disabilities, showcasing their talents and achievements. This has resulted in a local visual arts culture, awareness-raising,career development and additional opportunities for individual artists.CAGE can accommodate up to 20 wall-mounted artworks, depending on size.
CAGE does not charge a fee for usage, only asking for a refundable bond of $50. A commission of 20% of the total price of sold artwork is the only fee SKCC collects and will go directly towards development of the space.
CAGE is also flexible about the duration of your exhibition, dependent upon availability.
