FELTspace is an Artist Run Initiative established in 2008. With its exhibition space in Compton Street at the heart of Adelaide’s Central Market district, FELTspace has quickly become a centre for the emerging contemporary visual arts community and an important site for the development, exhibition and discussion of new work by emerging and recognised visual artists in South Australia. FELTspace has a focus on promoting emerging and early career artists, with opportunities for more established artists to show in a non-commercial and non-institutional space. Founded by Annika Evans, Rayleen Forester, Logan Macdonald, Monte Masi and Brigid Noone. The current FELTspace committee is comprised of Lauren Abineri, Tamara Baillie, Alice Blanch, Elise Bonato, Nancy Downes, Chelsea Farquhar, Bernadette Klavins, Kate Kurucz and Hen Vaughan. This group of artists, writers, curators and arts workers are committed to the support, development and promotion of contemporary art and artists within South Australia as well as engaging with a national network of artist-run initiatives and artists.
