About AAANZ Membership
Founded in 1974, the Art Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ) is the peak professional body for art writers, academics, curators, and artists providing a platform for advocacy, critical thinking and the sharing of knowledge. By supporting AAANZ as a Member, this ensures the Association can continue its vital role within the arts and cultural sector.
AAANZ Membership benefits include subscription to the biannual journal, discounts to the annual conference and eligibility for the AWAPAs, other prizes and grants.
Membership is integral in sustaining the core activities AAANZ undertakes.
The Annual AAANZ Conference is held in either Australia or New Zealand. The conference brings together scholars working within art history, art theory, curatorship, art education and arts practice. Our aim is to support research in the arts and to draw together the diverse range of people working in universities, museums, libraries and independently.
AAANZ Membership supports pathways for post-graduate, Indigenous Australian and New Zealand Māori and Pasifika students, to:
- attend and present at the conference through a student bursary scheme
- participate in master-class and mentoring sessions at the conference
- to apply for grants and prizes
The Arts Writing and Publishing Awards (AWAPAs) recognise the best in arts writing and research across Australia and New Zealand for emerging and established scholars, curators and artists. They are the only prizes in the region to celebrate the publishing achievements writers make to the field.
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art (ANZJA) published bi-annually is the first refereed art-historical journal in Australasia recognised for its quality by the Australian Research Council.
