  • The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 5

    The Untitled Drawing Club has, for the second time, sent us to an international location. This week, we are travelling to the Brooklyn Art Library in New York. The name of this library did ring a bell. I remember, a few years ago, learning about their Sketchbook Project and thinking it was a really amazing…

  • The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 4

    This week, for The Untitled Drawing Club, we are travelling to TarraWarra Museum of Art located in Victoria, Australia. More specifically, you can find this museum in the Yarra Valley wine region – an hour’s drive (approximately) from the state’s capital, Melbourne. This is the first museum the club has visited that I haven’t visited…

  • The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 3

    Welcome to week 3 of The Untitled Drawing Club. As always, a link to the club will be shared at the end of this post. This week, we’re travelling all the way to Copenhagen to visit the Designmuseum. I was fortunate enough to visit this museum back in 2016. If you want to read about…

  • Gallery of Modern Art: Great Art Debate

    Is there a better way to spend a Sunday night than listening to a talk debating art? For a brief moment, I forgot that tomorrow is Monday. The Great Art Debate was a virtual event that saw classical art and contemporary art go head-to-head to win the hearts and minds of the audience. A huge…

  • The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 2

    Welcome to week 2 of The Untitled Drawing Club. For those who didn’t read my last post, The Untitled Drawing Club has been created by Alexis Winter and transports people virtually, each Monday, to a new museum, exhibition, etc. The aim is to create an artwork inspired by your visit. If you would like to…

  • The Untitled Drawing Club

    Now that Brisbane is back in lockdown, I have been searching for something to keep my mind occupied that isn’t just watching copious amounts of Netflix and working from home. A lovely friend sent me an Instagram message recently alerting me to The Untitled Drawing Club, run by Alexis Winter. As soon as I clicked…

  • Brisbane: Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA)

    Yesterday I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) to see their new blockbuster exhibition, European Masterpieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. With artworks spanning from 1420 to the early twentieth-century, there is quite literally something for everyone. Seeing the works displayed chronologically allowed for a new appreciation of how western art…

  • Gold Coast: Home of the Arts (HOTA)

    Due to some recent health complications and surgery, I haven’t been able to visit museums or galleries for quite some time. Now that I’m slowly on the mend, we took the opportunity to drive down to the Gold Coast for a mid-century getaway and to visit the new Home of the Arts (HOTA) Gallery. The…

  • MuseumNext Digital Summit: Day Five

    My final MuseumNext blog post will focus on the theme of challenges. Whether that be challenges museums need to face, or staff overcoming challenging scenarios in order to produce content. One particular presentation stood out to me so I’m going to start there and discuss a couple of others later on. But first, I want…

  • MuseumNext Digital Summit: Day Four

    I have just finished listening to the final presentation of day four that covered how to take cemetery tours online – more about that later. Firstly, the theme of today was programs with impact. I really want to stress that this isn’t just a theme isolated to the presentations today, but one that both stood…
