Galleries on Show - Exploring Art Issues

This program takes us inside three very different Australian galleries - the Sutton Gallery, the Heide Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery in Canberra - to gain a better understanding of how visual art is presented, promoted and marketed in Australia.

Through on-camera interviews students meet relevant spokespeople from Australia’s art industry, such as gallery directors, curators and marketing managers.

We learn about the key differences between public, private and commercial galleries by exploring such factors as their origins, philosophies, funding, patronage, their key areas of operations, and their individual contribution to the visual culture of Australia.
