Bringing Area of Study 3 to life with direct experience:

Hear from the Gallery Director, Curator and Registrar about all aspects of staging exhibitions at a Regional Gallery, including exhibition design, lighting, storage and conservation. The Marketing Coordinator will discuss audience engagement and how exhibitions are promoted using different audience development strategies. There’s an opportunity for students to ask questions to help them better understand the workings of a public gallery. Included in the program is a guided tour of the collection rooms where students in small groups see how artworks are managed and stored.  Students will also see the current exhibitions Steel and Clay Stories.

This seminar is specifically developed to assist students with their exam.
