The centres were created originally in response to a lack of opportunity to present contemporary work and a desire to network with other artists nationally and internationally.
In the 1990s there were over 100 artist-run centres across Canada. Today there are at least 60 artist-run centres with continuous operating funding.
Similar artist-run organizations have been developed worldwide. In the US, they are commonly identified by the term artist-run space and in Australia by the term artist-run initiative (ARI).
