mission

VSSL is a container for contemporary, queer, interdisciplinary visual art practice(s). We believe in the boundless potential of art, akin to the expansiveness of queerness, striving to ensure that the transformative power of art can benefit and is accessible to all within our diverse communities.

As a queer, disabled, artist-led, not-for-profit gallery/studio, we provide a welcoming space for gathering, creation, collaboration and development for queer individuals and their extended communities.

Through our dedication to nurturing contemporary, queer, interdisciplinary art and practitioners, we continue to forge meaningful mutually-supportive partnerships with organisations to further platform and elevate members of our communities and the artworks that they produce.

Our mission is simple: we create space and share resources to enable queer people to make art that reflects queer experience, transforming themselves and the world(s) we live in the process.
