Over the past decade, Art Incubator has supported innovative art practices and assisted in launching the careers of some of Sydney’s top emerging artists. The program awards grants to emerging Australian artists for the development of new work that is presented as a solo exhibition in an established commercial gallery, alongside mentorship in professional practice. 

To celebrate a decade of Art Incubator’s innovative philanthropic art-support model, and showcase the extraordinary quality of contemporary emerging practices that have come through the program, this exhibition presents a survey of the works made by the 22 grant recipients between 2014 and 2024.  A solo exhibition by the 2025 grant recipient also features in the exhibition.

MAG&M’s Cove Gallery will transform into a studio for two grant recipients to take up residency throughout the exhibition, enabling visitors to gain unique insights into their art-making processes and provide a platform for audience-artist dialogue.

Participating artists include:

Nicole Zhang, Remy Faint, Megan Hales, Monica Rani Rudhar, Joshua Charadia, Orson Heidrich, Tom Keukenmeester, Shan Turner-Carroll, Victoria Hempstead, Nadia Odlum, Will French, Philjames, William Cooke, Seth Diego Birchall, Emma Finneran, Alice Couttoupes, Jack Lanagan-Dunbar, Eunjoo Jang, Kirtika Kain, Kate Mitchell, Matthew Bromhead, Mason Kimber.
