Description:

Season Five of Interview With An Artist is Gallery Directors from around Australia.

Rachel Parsons is the Director of NERAM - that’s the New England Regional Art Museum in Armidale, on the land of the the ANAIWAN people. 

Rachel began her time at NERAM as a curator in 2016. When Rachael interviewed for the job over Zoom, she was based in Brisbane and had never been to regional NSW. She had to google where it was. And what initially was a plan to spend 2 - 3 years, is coming up to six years. 

In today’s episode we talk about:

  • Rachael’s path from study to Director in a relatively short time
  • How she balances bringing shows to NERAM  that will appeal to a regional audience and also presenting work that is leading the wider contemporary art scene
  • How artists can apply to show in regional galleries and some of the things to bear in mind
  • And how it’s the 40th birthday for NERAM and plans they have to celebrate
