We're excited to announce our 2027 Program Callout is now open until 11:59pm September 20!
Contribute to the creative ecology of Mparntwe/Alice Springs through our core programming, including exhibitions, residencies and screenings.
Applications are open to artists and curators local to Mparntwe/Alice Springs, across ‘Australia’, and internationally.
At WTS we strongly believe in the potential of art as a vehicle of change, connection and beauty. WTS posits that art’s definition has broad and soft boundaries, and that everyone is invited. We are proudly artist-run, and aim to amplify the voices of local, interstate, and international artists that may go unheard in mainstream spaces.
We aim to cultivate a horizontal and inclusive community space for artists where experimentation, questioning and collective responsibility are made possible, highlighting opportunities for professional and unprofessional development. We orient ourselves to our position in the centre of so-called Australia, which gives Watch This Space a unique proximity to artists across the continent and beyond.
Apply to our Exhibitions program or join us as a Travelling Artist in Residence. We welcome individual artists, duos and groups. Our Walk-in Cinema screenings and Pantry exhibitions are always open for applications — but no better time to submit a proposal.
