No one would deny, the arts profession is tough. So when major milestones roll around, the cause for celebration is all the more meaningful.
Such milestones are often celebrated with a gala performance, or a specially curated exhibition. However, with many arts organisations in lockdown for the better part of 2020, that opportunity to celebrate has been denied them – in a traditional sense.
It was the words of David Walsh, Founder of Hobart’s Mona, who best captured the feeling for all. ‘Our tenth anniversary – that’s a big thing to us decimal creatures, and it’s been made a bigger thing due to COVID-19. We’ve been forced to pause – we are thinking about the last ten years and the next ten years.'
