Abstract:
| Following the success of public lectures for “Encounters with Islamic Art” (2016), “Renaissance Art and Song” (2017) at the Museum of the Riverina, and “Great Southern Land: Australian Art” (2019) and “Silk Inroads” for the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, I proposed the delivery of the ambitious lecture series yet – “The Art of Everywhere Else” (2022) at the CSU Riverina Playhouse. These public lectures are designed to showcase the beauty and complexity of art history to the widest possible audience. Though developed in tandem with assessment strategies, the public lecture is a powerful means of connecting with regional communities and building meaningful networks with future students and institutional partnerships. Public lectures are inclusive, accessible, and rewarding to create and deliver. This presentation will review the strategies, opportunities and decisions that informed “The Art of Everywhere Else” and other public lectures, and will provide clear recommendations for developing future public lectures from these experiences. |
