In today’s creative landscape, artists and institutions are having to account for more than just the skill or talent their work displays. Now, the question of how representative their work is of the broader Australian population is an equally important consideration.

Where before the arts were often the realm of the privileged and the white mainstream, today there is a renewed and much needed focus on diversity and inclusion in the arts. There is a growing sense of responsibility among arts institutions and leaders to broaden our artistic sector in order to accommodate the breadth and depth of perspectives represented in what is shown, performed and published.
