24HR Art was established in 1990 and is a non-profit association which receives grants from government and sponsorship from the private sector. 24HR Art grew out of a long-standing desire on the part of many individuals and organisations in the Territory for a venue dedicated specifically to the promotion and support of contemporary visual art - an environment which offers artists an opportunity to experiment with, explore and exhibit their work, share in an involvement with the local, national and international arts community.
