PUBLIC LECTURE: Skywest Public Lecture

The judges for the 2011 City of Albany Art Prize will bring their expertise, technical skill and judgement to the topic of art collection management, development and promotion. Art collections are a cultural asset which can reflect the owner's history, identity and aspirations. The City of Albany is fortunate to have a much loved art collection which started in 1949 when the Town of Albany received a donation of paintings by Australian artists from Sir Claude Hotchin. This collection is added to each year with the winning painting from the City of Albany Art Prize. In this panel discussion, the three judges will share their experiences in working with collections in a wide range of sectors, from national galleries with substantial resources to managing a collection without a dedicated gallery.
