Symposium April 2011
Museums Australia (NSW) invites you to Sydney for the symposium Place, Space,& Identity: New Directions for NSW Museums at Macquarie University 18-19 April 2011.
The symposium will explore new directions and opportunities for museums and galleries in New South Wales, following the publication of the Watts report on Museums and Galleries NSW in 2010 and coinciding with the development of a new strategic plan for visual arts and museum sectors in NSW by Arts NSW in 2011. The regular chapter representatives meeting and branch AGM will be held in conjunction with the symposium. More information.
