About:
This Project started in March of 2011, all as idea to create friendships and a blog where we personally could write about art and events show casting which we attend and getting the greater awareness about the culture swift that is becoming more and more in my home the Gold Coast, I had run and hosted 5 exhibition previous to making this move to make a label which could be recognised and respected not only here ( Gold Coast ) but Australian wide. Since starting lmtdspace with 5 artist which where all my friend we know cater for 54 artists and counting. On weekly basics my local council contacts me with projects which they like to involve myself and the collective in or just ask for my advise.
I still have big dream and outrageous ideas for the collective in 2012 which will need the support of the public to make the next step happen but also my state and local governments.
That Dream is to host exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane with 303 emerging artists and alongside this create a annual book which would showcase the beautiful , wonderful and damn right amazing talent of Australian art.
Mission Statement:
This is the beginning of a new artist collective based on the Gold Coast with contributors from all over Australia. The collective is run by a number of artists based in most of the major
cities around Australia. LMTDS is designed to showcase young emerging artists who have little or no space, helping them get exhibited. LMTDS also helps promote artists and events around Australia.
LTMDS mission is to unite Artists around Australia by hosting exhibitions with galleries and other spaces. Connect you with information about what is going on in your city as well as showcase Australians best hidden and emerging artists.
Founders:
MAD/Director
Mad is the founder and director LMTD Space and is a Gold Coast visual artist who works with mixed media including acrylic, ink, aerosol, found wood, canvas and paper. During the day, he sells these exact supplies in an art shop, but he moonlights as one of the Gold Coast’s most active artists trying to help pioneer a massive culture change in the Gold Coast’s art and culture scene. He’s been exhibiting since he was 16, and has been a finalists and winner in a number of visual and contemporary art competitions since. With a diploma of graphic design and a cert 4 in visual art recently tucked under his belt on the Gold Coast, Mad is heavily involved in the growth of some prolific art galleries and events, organising live art shows and exhibitions in multiple cities whenever he can. He intends to top off his impressive tertiary education portfolio with a fine arts degree and take cultural inspiration from every new city he gets to exhibit in and hopefully bring back a taste to the Gold Coast.

Aurora Braid
Aurora Braid is Co-Founder and Co-Director of LMTD Space. Spending several years dabbling in different mediums of art Braid finally found her place when leaving high school in 2010. With a large collection of analog cameras and several hundred photographs in several boxes it became clear that this was where her greatest interest lay. After organising a group exhibition in 2010 with a turnout of over 300 people, Braid decided that both interest and passion was more than just ideas and needed to become more of a reality. Having more of a freelance outlook on her work, Aurora continues to produce photographs from her home town and other cities around the world.
