Who We Are
Cause for Discussion is an online platform where artists and others so inclined can discuss aspects of art with the aim of filling the void of critical debate of the arts in Nelson. It has been a long time since printed media have offered meaningful art reviews and articles that incites debates and discussion. Contemporary creatives are widely unsupported in a local context, and we hope that this will add value to the understanding and promotion of their work, whilst creating an important archive and showpiece of Nelson's arts practices.
This is a pilot platform where researched and thought-through commentary and opinion regarding visual art may be discussed and expanded upon by a community of likeminded locals. We believe such respectful discussion can and will stimulate the entire art scene and transform islands of creativity and thought into a community of thoughtful creatives.
We hope to publish fresh reviews throughout the year in such a way you, the reader, will have time to visit the exhibitions and form your own opinion. We warmly welcome constructive commentary in the forum section.
The Arts Council Nelson would like to thank the creative Communities Scheme for assistance towards this pilot project.
