Six_a inc is an artist run initiative in North Hobart, Tasmania.

Six a inc. provides a supportive environment for artists to take risks and experiment within their practice, to receive constructive technical and curatorial assistance in their attainment of conceptual resolution.

Six a inc. encourages its raw, fresh, process-driven vision by encouraging artists to engage with evolutionary development between the stages of initial conception through to installation and exhibition.

Six a inc. will continue to support an inclusive art culture that incorporates a cross pollination of art, music, film, writing, sound and performance, and whenever possible, offer a platform for these different media to co-exist in dialogue, and without hierarchy.
