Artist led initiative.

New North.
New North is aN artist Run interdisciplinary cooperative AND curatorial platform based on Kabi Kabi Country, noosa.
newness.
nowness.
Newness is the quality of being recent, unfamiliar or not seen before—without necessarily implying improvement or value. It signals difference, disruption or emergence in a given context.
Nowness is the quality of being present and immediate—rooted in the current moment, felt in real time and unmediated by delay or distance.
for now, New north explores nowness and newness as a curatorial Proposition.
WHat are we about?
shaped by instinct and a considered disregard for what comes next – we are invested in the making & sharing of contemporary art.
New North adopts an iterative model that gathers artists, communities of change and curious publics through poetic, provocative and live arts encounters. We privilege presence, liveness and livedness at a time when these states are under threat—eroded by distraction, disconnection and dullness. New North is not about future-proofing. It is about now-making.
ARTS EXPERIENCES
Contemporary arts experiences & conversations curated and presented by the New North.
Musings
Wandering ideas captured in writing — for no other reason than someone else might like to read them. We might publish some too.
ART NERDS Community
Irregular intimate gatherings of art nerds getting their nerd on in a friendly space. Bring your unique nerdery, seed collaboration and meet community.
NEW NORTH is driven and curated by an evolving cooperative of arts-engaged humans that convene to enrich the contemporary arts landscape in Noosa. We do it because we love making things happen, because it nourishes us and because we are creating the place we want to live.
OUR MANIFESTO
We resist dullness.
We trust the origin of ideas — instinctual, immediate, present.
We embrace disruption and risk, testing conventions with rigour.
Collaboration, generosity, critique and curiosity guide us.
We create with thought, care and joy.
