	Description:		Season 5 of Interview With An Artist is Gallery Directors from around Australia. Ralph Hobbs is one of the founders behind Nanda Hobbs Gallery in Sydney. The first part of Ralph's career was spent teaching high school students about art and developing his own practice. Eventually his desire to talk to adults about art pushed him into the gallery realm. Fast forward to today, and Ralph has been in the gallery scene for close to 18 years. Nanda Hobbs was one of the first galleries to embrace the online space. Long before COVID, the gallery was building a digital presence and offering that others believed would never take off. In today’s episode we talk about: How shows sell out before openings and the importance of collector relationships when it comes to highly sought after artists Why galleries are no longer the gatekeeper to artists Why it’s important for an artist to have commitment to an idea AND technical ability Why he believes everyone should draw, not just artists Ralph has a wealth and depth of knowledge that he generously shares. Interview With An Artist is hosted by Wilamina Russo and produced by Cameron Furlong.
