#EmbraceEquity campaign theme seeks to get the world talking about why ‘equal opportunities are no longer enough’ and can in fact be exclusionary, rather than inclusive. On today’s program we hear from the perspectives of women on equality versus equity and what this year’s theme means to them. The Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize is Australia’s highest value acquisitive art prize for women with over $45,000 in prize money across four categories. We hear from Kathryn Minkley, artist, curator and Head Arts Department. Over the last 30 years Roslyn Sharp has gained a reputation for her disciplined but sympathetic mode of social documentation. Much of it centred around portraits, events and sites of Darlinghurst, Kings Cross, Woolloomooloo and Potts Point. The Messenger reveals new facets of the visual style of Sharp. A one-week exhibition presented as part of a suite of four exhibitions over a month by Damien Minton at Sheffer Gallery, Darlington. We hear from her in conversation with Sandy Edwards, Creative producer, Arthere.

Opera Australia’s soprano Jane Ede, on Donzetti’s Tudor trilogy, Roberto Deverux can be accessed on Arts Friday, 17 March 2023.

Thank you to the women contributing to Arts on International Women’s Day: Regina Botros, Lisa Garnham, Annette Hughes and Patricia Starrs. An acknowledgement of gratitude to Paul Neeson and Anthony Frater, presenters of Arts Wednesday.
