The Mill seeking Voluntary Board Members

Become a Champion for the Arts

The Mill, Adelaide, is seeking new volunteer Members to join the Board.

What is The Mill?

Since 2013 The Mill has built a community where artists and audiences connect to generate new ideas, have exciting insights, and develop a broad appreciation of the significant contribution the arts make to the vibrancy and future of South Australia (SA).

In 2023, The Mill achieved the considerable milestone of 10 years in operation, solidifying its reputation as a visionary and inclusive organisation with an artistic program that provides national impact. Each year The Mill supports and presents over 1,000 artists and creatives from diverse backgrounds and at all stages of their careers.

The Mill’s multipurpose venue combines artist studios and creative workspaces, two galleries, a performing arts space, photography studio and tools workshop. In April 2023, The Mill expanded from 39 to 57 studios and is now home to over 60 independent artists, makers and creative businesses. This thriving creative center strengthens the SA arts sector through the sharing of knowledge, skills and networks; and by enabling and encouraging creatives to practice in Adelaide.

Visual Arts Program: Open Call Out

The Mill is calling for Expressions of Interest for our gallery program in 2024 and beyond

For the past 12 months we have had a rolling, open call out for artists interested in exhibiting in The Mill's Galleries. But the time has come to hit pause while we prepare our program for 2025.

Our Open Call Out for exhibitions will be closing on November 18, 2024. 

Please ensure your form is submitted by this date. 

The call out will reopen in mid 2025.

We want this process to be more accessible, and to reduce the labour required for artists to express their interest in exhibiting with us. We want to hear about your ideas, and respond to artist and audience interests. 

So, what is the process?

Please fill in the application form with short but concise answers. Introduce yourself, your practice and your exhibition idea. 

We'll get in touch to have a chat if your exhibition idea resonates with our curatorial direction and organisational aims. 

We no longer charge Gallery hire to artists in the Exhibition Space Program. Submitting a proposal is no guarantee of acceptance.
