How do regional galleries manage the tension between being incubators for local practice and a distributions outlet for metropolitan product?
What is it like to make art and run museums in regional communities that lack the art infrastructure of metropolitan centres?
What important art is being produced in the regions and is it different? And how might we transcend the regional/metropolitan opposition?
Four prominent regional Queensland gallerists will discuss these and other questions. Chair Megan Williams (Director UniSC Art Gallery Sippy Downs) will be joined by Jonathan McBurnie (Director Rockhampton Museum of Art) Kate O’Hara (Director Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts Townsville) and Madeline Brewer (Curator The Condensery Somerset).
