Art & You

How do you engage with art? Do you visit galleries, or look online, social media or do you make art?

I’m back in Melbourne and visiting the National Gallery of Victoria’s Triennial. This exhibition brings contemporary art, architecture and design into dialogue with art. Watch the video to see what I mean.

Melbourne is a city of 4.8 million and the National Gallery of Victoria had over 2.9 million visitors in 2018-19. That is a lot of decisions to prioritise art over other activities. Why do so many people value art so much and what is it doing for them?
