The Asia Pacific Arts Awards celebrates diaspora artists and arts workers across the Asia Pacific region. The Awards recognise and promote Australian artists, collectives and organisations engaged in creating, and presenting work. Zainab Syed is the Director of International for Creative Australia, explains the strategic objectives and reviewed categories. The Mosman Art Trail takes in 12 scenic locations that follow a series of interpretive signs where you can stand and admire the views that inspired 12 notable paintings from the Mosman Art Gallery’s Balnaves collection. Gallery Director, John Cheeseman, provides insight. A major survey exhibtion by Dale Frank, presents 45 large-scale paintings, sculptures and installations created over the past decade including nine never-before exhibted works. Senior Curator, Katrina Cashman takes us on a Gallery walk of Growers and Showers at the National Art School Gallery.

Produced and presented by Angela Stretch, from Gadigal country, we acknowledge First Nations peoples as the sovereign custodians of Country, and pay respect to Elders of past, present and to future generations. We acknowledge and value the distinct culture, customs and practices present in the many and diverse tribal nations across NSW.

Parramatta-based Filipina–Australian artist Marikit Santiago is the recipient of the 2024 La Prairie Art Award. The acquisitive award was founded in 2022 and supports Australian women artists.  We hear from Marikit at AGNSW, seated in front of her two works displayed as part of the Making Worlds exhibition. Kimberley Hodgson’s latest role as Anita in West Side Story, is a physically challenging dream and we hear from her on what it’s like to perform on the grand stage on the Harbour. Twisted Tales is an exhibition that explores the loss of innocence with adulthood through an unsettling reinvention of childhood figures and their stories.  The artist Lihnida Krstanoska-Blazeska opens her first solo exhibition at gaffa Gallery, and provides insight.

Produced and presented by Angela Stretch, from Gadigal country, we acknowledge First Nations peoples as the sovereign custodians of Country, and pay respect to Elders of past, present and to future generations. We acknowledge and value the distinct culture, customs and practices present in the many and diverse tribal nations across NSW.
