BACKGROUND
Emerging from the fallout of post-wedding circle bliss, Bill and George commenced proceedings in May 2006 and continued negotiations for another 12 months before finally signing a five year lease in August 2007. Bill and George is managed by a core collective of 5 artists from a range of disciplines.
Bill and George is comprised of 12 individual multi disciplinary artist studios, a rehearsal/dance floor, a screening room, and a long dinner table for community groups. In addition to this we have created a library which came out of the “artSlab” program which runs on a project basis as an experimental and slow cooking space to exploring new ways for presenting ‘art’ as process based and collaborative.
