TRUCK CONTEMPORARY ART is a non-profit artist resource centre run by a small team of dedicated artists working to support the creation and public presentation of contemporary art. Our goal is to engage our community in critical discourse surrounding contemporary art and to bring together and support creative individuals who share aspirations of increasing access to art for all. We endeavour to connect artists to the resources they need to create, exhibit and share their work. All of TRUCK’s programs are free and open to the public.
