Staying connected with the arts

from SmartArts Hosted by RRR - Triple R

On this episode Richard discusses ways artists are staying connected to their community and work throughout the pandemic. He speaks with Fleur Kilpatrick for their regular segment Shoot the Messenger. However, instead of discussing live theatre they discuss some of the interesting works and collaborations appearing online. Richard then speaks with Adrian Collette AM. Collette is the CEO of Australia Council for the Arts which is the Australian government’s arts funding and advisory body. The discussion centres around the reallocation of funding to better serve the arts community during the pandemic. Next Richard speaks with Kate Ryan who is the curator of children’s programs at the NGV. The NGV has organised online activities to keep kids creative and engaged in the arts. Finally Richard speaks with fashion illustrator Angie Rehe about ways people can improve their drawing skills. Rehe said “learning to draw is really learning to see”, and shares activities to help focus the brain on drawing literally rather than symbolically.
