mandate

Founded in 1979, articule is an open-access artist-run centre dedicated to the presentation of a broad range of contemporary art practices. Through our various programming channels, we strive for artistic excellence, interdisciplinarity and social engagement. While special consideration is given to emerging artists, we also respect those who have already established important precedents, who commit themselves to the ideals of experimentation and risk-taking. articule supports discursive and alternative activities that promote dialogue and build networks with local, national and international artists, collectives and organizations. While our open structure encourages the direct participation of an active and diverse membership, we recognize the importance of directing this vitality, helping to give it the cohesion and professional bearing it requires.
