From Pariah to Popular: Talk With Liz Ann Macgregor

17 Feb 2025
- 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm, Monthly Arts Talks
- $35 for casual guests. Free to members.
During her 22 years at the helm of Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA), Elizabeth Ann Macgregor transformed a financially strapped, somewhat insular contemporary art museum into one of the most visited galleries in the world.
Connecting artists and audiences in new ways, Liz Ann forged a national and international reputation as innovative, democratic and unafraid to broker new partnerships. With only 24 per cent government funding, the MCA needed significant sponsorship arrangements, including a deal with Telstra to eliminate visitor entry fees. But it was her commitment to genuine outreach, particularly in Western Sydney, that enabled a deeply held philosophy of community engagement to shine.
Join Liz Ann in Coffs Harbour for this fascinating talk.
