Screw art as industry

We're here to connect.

After running galleries in Paddington and Glebe I became very disenfranchised with the art industry. It was all designed to be inaccessible, way too expensive and the only art that got any attention was stuff that was designed to match people's couches. It was a scene that was all hype and no substance. I have spent my whole life wanting to run an art space that promoted art that actually meant something. That was art for the sake of art, not for the sake of interior design. Not that I'm saying that art shouldn't look good -  but I got very tired of it being all the colours that vogue was saying were "in fashion". Art isn't about being fashionable. It's about being able to connect with another person. It's about seeing something that you feel deep inside yourself reflected in the work of another person.

​

I believe that art is the most universal form of human connection, a language we can all access without words. We don't need to be educated, we don't need to be able to read, we just need to be able to experience. 

​

The Sen Space is also the headquarters for Sen Events, a business I have been running in Newcastle since 2016 with the intention of connecting people, building community, helping people find their people. The Sen Space is an extension of this philosophy - authenticity, integrity, respect. It is a space for us to come together, to share the experience of being human, to enjoy original expression (whether that is art, music, or whatever is your jam).
