Outcomes of the festival included: successful use of non-traditional venues and partnerships and collaborations.

The Brisbane Artist Run Initiatives (BARI) Festival is a biennial event that promotes and provides fresh creative platforms and audiences for Brisbane based ARIs (Artist Run Initiatives).

The BARI Festival 2014 featured work from 95 artists/curators. The diversity of Brisbane’s ARIs was showcased with a variety of events, from exhibitions of sculpture to video to music festival and live art competitions.

Exhibitions took place in unconventional venues around Brisbane, from a vacant office floor to a brewery. This attracted attendees who may not typically visit a gallery and encouraged audiences to view parts of Brisbane in a new and different way.
