The Auxiliary has always been built on community and connection, and we want you to be part of it.
G.A.N.G. (Guidance for Artists: Networks & Growth) is our one-year membership for artists, designed to support artistic development both regionally and nationally. Through online meet-ups, events and exhibition opportunities, we want to help you build stronger networks, grow your practice and succeed on your career journey.
