Since 2017, Memo Review has been Melbourne’s only platform for weekly art criticism, each Saturday morning. Memo was founded by an independent collective of arts writers and historians wanting to fill a gap in quality art criticism. In 2022, we expanded our reach north, publishing fortnightly reviews of exhibitions in Sydney and regional NSW. We publish reviews of a broad variety of art exhibitions at public art museums, commercial galleries and smaller artist-run spaces, offering critical perspectives from a new generation of Australian art scholars, writers and artists.
Memo Review Inc. is an independent not-for-profit organisation without institutional affiliation.
2023 AUSTRALIAN CULTURAL FUND DONORS
We would like to thank the generous support of all those who donated to our 2022 ACF campaign. We give special mention to our “Commissioners”, who made a donation of $400 or more—enough to fund the commissioning of an entire review.

The Melbourne editors acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the unceded land and waters on which we work, the people of the Kulin Nations. The Sydney editors acknowledge that the Traditional Custodians of the place now known as Sydney are the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and our work takes place across many unceded Indigenous lands across NSW. Memo Review in both locations offers its respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations Elders, past, present and future. We offer our respects to Elders and Ancestors of the Kulin Nations, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander First Nations Elders, past and present.
