What Australian artists should include on a website: biography, works, CV, statements, shop and contact details.

Australian art opportunities are spread across national institutions, state funding bodies, regional galleries, artist-run spaces, local councils, art fairs, commercial galleries, schools, universities and artist organisations. A practical approach is to keep a short list of trusted sources and check them regularly.

Practical checklist

  • Define your goal: exhibit, sell, learn, apply, visit, collect, teach or document.
  • Check whether the opportunity is local, state-based, national or international.
  • Confirm eligibility before spending time on an application.
  • Save key dates and allow time for photography, statements, budgets and transport.
  • Read terms carefully, especially around copyright, commission, insurance and delivery.
