Artexte’s permanent collection is alive! It is activated through public events in support of new research, writing, as well as creating new artworks and publications around visual and print culture. Artexte aims to be inclusive of all visual cultures existing across contemporary art communities. Our on-site and virtual offerings include conferences, workshops, artist talks, performances, film screenings, as well as many interinstitutional collaborations and off-site activities.
