The craft of arts writing

As the Walkley Arts Awards open for entries in 2018, we’ve drawn together some of Australia’s favourite voices on the arts to talk about why we need critics and writers to help us interpret culture, and what makes great arts writing. From painting to performance, pop culture to classical, the ephemeral and experiential to the stuff hanging in our galleries; art reveals our world to us. But it’s arts writers and critics who help reveal that art to us.
