Arts Thursday 11 June

We’re back!

This Thursday, join Maisy Stapleton and Paula Towers for their first Arts program since the corona virus lockdown.

We start today with an interview recorded by Peter Morton in an ongoing series about the treasures in our museums, galleries and libraries.

Today Peter speaks to Richard Neville, Mitchell Librarian about the extraordinary holdings in the State Library of NSW. You’ll be surprised at the astonishing and diverse array of items in the Library’s collections. An image of the Macquarie Chest, one of Richard’s selected items, is shown below.

We also look at two local galleries – Project90 Gallery and Cooee Art – about how they survived during the lockdown and their immediate plans
