Axis is an independent arts charity that is dedicated to supporting artists and promoting their work. Their mission is to create a platform that fosters a diverse and engaged community of artists, commissioners, and audiences. Axisweb, their contemporary art UK network, offers various opportunities and resources for artists.

To fulfill their mission, Axisweb provides a space, both online and offline, to support artists' needs. They also prioritize nurturing collaboration, growth, and good practice in the visual arts. They lead sector research and offer opportunities such as meanwhile spaces, commissions, and knowledge sharing.

As a registered charity founded in 1991, Axis values the input and dialogue with its members—artists, curators, producers, and writers. The organization places artists at the forefront, shifting from a gallery-led spectatorship model to one that supports a broader and more diverse community of artists, commissioners, and audiences. Axis actively seeks collaborations with artists, producers, curators, commissioners, and like-minded organizations that share their values in supporting and profiling artists.

They can be contacted via email or online chat, and their headquarters are located at The Art House in Wakefield. With their commitment to the arts, Axis strives to make a meaningful impact in the artistic community
