Connecting Artists with opportunity
Our Support and initiatives
Explore Axis’s initiatives, where we support artists and enrich the world of contemporary visual arts. Our programmes, past and present, aim to inspire, connect, and empower.
Open Frequency (2003 - 2014) was a research tool for curators, critics, writers, collectors, and students exploring contemporary art practice, attracting a national and international user base.
In November 2008, Axis launched Future50, a selling exhibition showcasing the work of 50 Axis artists at Project Space Leeds.
Dialogue (2005–2007) generated new critical writing on contemporary art practice. This programme reflected on the work of artists featured across the Axis website, alongside a broader circle of emerging and mid-career artists. The aim was to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of their critical reception.
