At Artbank, I am involved in the process of bringing new works into the collection through acquisition, the delivery of exhibitions across our gallery spaces, the ongoing interpretation of works in our collection and adding to and improving information about our collection to increase accessibility for Artbank clients and the broader Australian public. The most exciting part of the job is meeting with artists, experiencing inspiring works of art and being in a unique position to offer support that contributes to a thriving cultural sector in Australia.
