Established in 2008, FELTspace is an artist-run initiative located on the unceded Kaurna land of Adelaide, Australia; supporting, developing and presenting emerging, experimental, and diverse exhibitions and public programs. FELTspace is the oldest ongoing Artist Run Initiative (ARI) currently operating in South Australia and sits within the small-to-medium arts sector within South Australia's wider arts ecology. FELTspace has a track record of creative achievement and skill of leadership team and artists, and, since 2022, pays artist fees to exhibiting artists. FELTspace’s annual program delivers a series of six-weekly curatorially-ambitious exhibitions that occupy its three exhibition spaces (front, back and the digital screen of FELTdark), public talks, a suite of mentorship programs, residencies, a writers’ program, one-off live events, and offsite projects in collaboration with other artist-run organisations to bolster new artistic networks. FELTspace encourages applications from emerging and early-career art practitioners; and also welcomes proposals from mid-career and established practitioners testing new and experimental approaches.

Established in 2008, FELTspace is an artist-run gallery located at the heart of the Central Market district in Adelaide, capital city of South Australia.
