Knock Knock Contemporary Artists’ Initiative is a cooperative venture formed in 2010 in a commitment to enhancing Cairns vibrant arts community.
Knock Knock is a dynamic group of artists who came together in their pursuit of further training and professional development within their own art practices. The name Knock Knock eventuated as a catchy phrase for access and open doors for up-coming and established local artists. This collaborative venture is the initiative of founding members and contemporary artists Raewyn Biggs, Vide Smith, Loui...sa Ennis-Thomas, Kira McGregor, Ruth McKim, Rose Rigley, Adrienne Shaw, Jennifer Arthur, Adrian Wolf and Sam Vatovey.
While acknowledging the leadership role of KickArts Contemporary and the Cairns Regional Gallery, we seek to complement the exhibition services these creative institutions provide, with further artist-based opportunities. Knock Knock has a strong focus on growing grassroots exhibition opportunities in the Cairns region; access to professional development and training for visual artists; developing creative partnerships within the broader community and generally supporting innovation in contemporary visual arts. The group’s vision is to contribute to building Cairns’ identity as an arts destination. |
