This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Roar Studios was an artist run gallery and studio cooperative in Fitzroy, Australia, founded by a group of young painters in June 1982. The studio opened at 115A Brunswick Street, Fitzroy and operated as an alternative to Melbourne's existing commercial gallery system.^[1]

History

Roar Studios was founded by a group of young artists who sought to address what they perceived as entrenched bias within the Melbourne art world. The Roar Studios artists were David Larwill, Mark Schaller, Sarah Faulkner, Jill Noble, Andrew Ferguson, Karan Hayman, Mark Howson, Pasquale (Pasquali) Giardino, Peter Ferguson, Richard Birmingham and Judi Singleton. Many went on to sustained careers within the Australian art world, exhibiting with commercial galleries and in institutional contexts.^[2]
