POPULARITY
98% of us engage with the arts and 45% of us create art, yet the majority of Australian visual artists and arts workers remain deeply concerned by income security, cuts to arts education, program cancellations and reduced sales due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic. All Australians would benefit immensely from ambitious visual arts and culture experiences made possible through strategic policy and funding investment. In the electorate of Moreton, Queensland, POPSART's Bec Mac facilitates a conversation with artist Gordon Hookey (Waanyi), Pat Hoffie AM artist and Professor Emeritus, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Penelope Benton, Executive Director National Association for the Visual Arts, Paul Osuch Founder and CEO of Anywhere Festival and Carmel Haugh, Program Director Chrysalis Projects about NAVA's call for federal election candidates to take bold action for arts and culture by committing to a whole-of-government National Cultural Plan to effectively invest for impact in the medium and long-term needs of the arts sector. We also hear from Claire Garton candidate for the Greens, Chelsea Follett from the UAP and Graham Perrett candidate for Labor. Presented in partnership with Fund the Arts and The Paint Factory.

Welcome to a new innovation in the Arete Executive Podcast! This week I’m taking a deep dive discussing a range of subjects with some returning guests on our first Arete Panel Discussion. Guests this time ‘round include: Bec Mac - presenter producer and media maker, Tim Dwyer - Group Partner at BOB, and Martin Moore - Your CEO Mentor. In our panel discussions we’ll be covering business and career but from vastly different angles compared to what you would normally expect. These episodes are longer than usual but with the range of subjects covered it will be like listening to four podcast episodes at once. Thanks to The Brisbane Club for hosting the group interview in The President’s Room.

She’s also the creator of Popsart, a series of live-to-Facebook interviews with artists and curators with the aim of broadening Australia’s arts audience. As well as working with city councils around Australia and more recently, further afield in New York, Bec’s working towards developing a model to help the corporate sector deliver its message in a more fun, engaging way.
