Greek Australian Artist Directory
The GAAD is an archival/directory database introducing individual Greek Australian artists, established and emerging, (past and present) who have been practising traditional or contemporary art in Australia. As well as introducing the community to various artist profiles, it is an important platform for advertising current and upcoming exhibitions and allows the public to explore gallery related events, information on artists and more. It is an established directory available online as a digital resource to be utilized for research and education by artists, curators, teachers, students, researchers and the general public.
The GACL hopes that in time, GAAD will be become an important archive of Greek Australian art practice and a not for profit community resource which will hopefully be sustained as artist-run and volunteer based.
If you are an established and emerging artist you are welcome to register by completing the GAAD online registration form or contacting the GACL Art team by email infogaclm@gmail.com.
