Rewriting the Rules for Emerging Artists.
Semester9 is a contemporary art initiative created with artists and curators, for artists and curators.
We're what happens when you cross an artist-driven community with exhibition opportunities, sprinkle on some anarchic energy, and focus relentlessly on one thing: getting great artists where they belong - in front of audiences that matter.
Forget labels - we're not your typical art organisation. We're equal parts a launchpad for talent, exhibition makers, commercial disruptors and advisors. We blend these roles into something entirely new: a platform that gives emerging artists the tools, exposure, and tough love they need to thrive on their own terms. Semester9 makes a small yet much needed difference in an art world where galleries play it safe, institutions move slow and the art market chases commercial fads.
The name Semester 9? It's that make-or-break moment after art school ends but before the art world notices you. We turn that uncertain 9th Semester into a breakthrough moment for emerging artists.
