inSPACE began in 2002 as a single event, an open day of experimental and alternative arts in and around Space Theatre.
From there, it grew and changed to become a curated presentation program; after that, a discount ticket initiative focussing on young people seeing the newest of arts. Since then, inSPACE has evolved to what it is today, a program of works in development by South Australia's most exciting artists.
Special thanks go to our long time supporter George Psorakis from Osmond Electronics who has supported the program technically for over 10 years.
By the numbers:
- 70 presentations
- 135 Developments
- 1320 Artists
