Adelaide based art curator Vivonne Thwaites established artroom5 to showcase work by young, emerging and unknown artists. In 2010 artroom5 was awarded some Arts SA funds to continue into 2011. Vivonne Thwaites was Visual Arts Director, Adelaide Festival Centre for many years and was the Curator of the School of Art Gallery University of South Australia in 2006.
