In 2015, KINGS Artist-Run commenced an Emerging Writers’ Program aimed at providing opportunities for emerging arts writers to have their work published in a public forum and to further critical dialogue between writers and artists exhibiting in the KINGS program. Throughout the program each writer is mentored int he development of a text to be published within the gallery.
As of 2018 the KINGS Artist-Run Emerging Writer’s Program has partnered with un Projects to develop short-form critical reviews to be published on un Extended: unprojects.org.au/un-extended/reviews/
Through the program KINGS and un Projects are committed to working with emerging writers to develop written skills, critical voices and creative approaches to arts writing.
