Runway Journal is critical, bold and always in conversation.
Established in 2002, Runway Journal is an open-access digital publishing platform that commissions, cultivates and preserves experimental and critical writing practices. As one of Australia’s longest-running artist-run initiatives, Runway is committed to advancing the field of experimental digital art and fostering the practices of emerging and underrepresented voices. Since its inception, the journal has published over 1100 critical and artistic works that engage with current threads of Australian and global contemporary art.

Expansive and genre-defying, Runway’s commissioning inventory includes writers, artists, cultural workers, designers, academics, coders, art historians, and community collectives. Powered by a voluntary-run board of artists and arts workers based across Australia, Runway’s carves out an independent, artist-led space for people to develop, investigate and present ideas that move the world forward. 

Runway began as a hardcopy magazine publication and transitioned in 2012 to a free online platform. This decision enabled the organisation to offer a sustainable and accessible avenue to increase reader engagement and diversify content, with a focus on digital and experimental practices. Alongside our programs, Runway also fosters strategic partnerships with organisations that align with our mission to expand digitally-driven production within the arts and culture landscape.
