Nexus Arts

Nexus Arts are leaders in culturally diverse and intercultural artistic practice. We are the only contemporary arts organisation in South Australia with this focus. Nexus presents contemporary art which explores, promotes and celebrates cultural diversity. We foster excellence by supporting culturally and linguistically diverse and First Nations artists with development programs and presentation opportunities, engaging broad audiences to experience diverse artistic practice.

Our Vision – Australian contemporary arts truly represent our intercultural society, promoting social cohesion through diversity and excellence of practice.
Our Mission – Nexus Arts fosters contemporary intercultural creative practices, engaging and developing both artists and audiences.

Nexus has a reputation for sector-leading, dynamic work. We support more than 100 Australian artists annually through inventive programs such as the Nexus Live concert series, Interplay development program, Gallery exhibition program, and studio residencies. We commission collaborative intercultural work which offers supported creation and promotes artistic risk-taking, and we provide artists with national and international connections through strong strategic partnerships.

We have come a long way from our origins as an artists’ collective in 1984. From our earliest days as the Multicultural Arts Workers Committee, 40 years ago, to the organisation we are today, Nexus Arts has continuously played a significant social and cultural role in the Adelaide arts ecology, assisting local artists and nurturing the public’s appreciation of culturally diverse arts.
