Artists
Specialising in collaborating with diverse artists who navigate the world through unique cognitive, sensory, and physical experiences.
Studios
We collaborate with national and international art studios to develop and deliver projects conceived by artists, organisations, and our team.
Creatives
Professionals including curators, writers, and publishers collaborate with us and artists on experimental and commercial initiatives.
Partners
Partners make a difference: they invest in art and culture, forming critical and enduring relationships that elevate artists and the arts.
“Through genuine collaboration with artists, supported studios, galleries, and partners, Jump Left amplifies diverse voices in art. Based in the city, Naarm (Melbourne), we expand opportunities for self-taught, intellectually disabled, and neurodivergent artists — connecting them with peers, curators, and galleries nationally and internationally.”

Our inaugural summer exhibition, MULTIPLICITY was an open-call exhibition for diverse artists living in Australia. This curated salon exhibition created a platform for artists to showcase work in a group show focusing on small-to-medium sized artworks.
This inclusive exhibition connected artists and communities, with opportunities to present and sell work over summer.

ARCHIVE
REVISIT | Expanding Surrounding
18 October to 15 November 2025
Expanding Surrounding, ‘Mengembangkan Sekitar’ in Indonesian, was an international collaborative exhibition between Tab Space in Indonesia and Art et al. international platform.
Expanding Surrounding represented an extraordinary Indonesia-Australia cultural exchange that brought together neurodivergent and neurotypical artists in dynamic peer-to-peer collaborations. This innovative project built on the successful 2024 'Capturing Surrounding' UK/Indonesia collaboration, deepening cross-cultural partnerships and fostering genuine understanding between creative communities.
The partnerships produced remarkable creative dialogues, from Vipoo Srivilasa's trip in Bandung to meet collaborator Achmad Ilham Sadikin, to digital exchanges between Claudia Panca Fadilla (Indonesia) and Anna Louise Richardson (Australia).
Proudly supported by the Australia-Indonesia Institute at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Creative Australia and Creative Victoria, with exhibition and venue partner Jump Left and Impact Neighbourhoods.

“The Ballarat International Foto Biennale’s Visual Descriptions Pilot Program was deeply strengthened by the leadership of facilitator Sim Lüttin, whose professionalism, warmth and experience working at the intersection of the arts and disability guided the process from start to finish. Sim went above and beyond to support me and the project participants, and this ensured the project’s success. Thank you, Sim, I’m excited to work with you again!”
