About Us
History
The new online gallery is a joint venture between Harm Reduction Australia and ARTM (Macau) to provide a valuable opportunity for drug and related health and wellbeing services and their clients (current and former) to have access to the art market and raise much needed funds for themselves.
ARTM recently began exhibiting works of art created by clients of its various services within some former and unused leper colony buildings that were refurbished for community use by the Macau Government however access was limited to people that could physically visit the gallery to view and potentially purchase the artwork.
As a result, an idea was born to create a website where works of art created by clients of services from around the world could be marketed and sold online to any purchaser around the world.
