Event Details

What does it take to ‘curate’? How can you make the most of your artworks, art collection or art space? How can you connect history and creativity with a local audience?

In this webinar, esteemed curator and writer Naomi Evans will explore what it means to curate an exhibition in a Queensland context. Focussing on small art galleries and local government spaces, Naomi will help participants understand the strengths of a diverse art collection or practice, learn approaches to planning and curating thematically, and break down strategies for community engagement.
