The IMA is pleased to present a talk by Elizabeth Ann Macgregor OBE, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA), Sydney. This is the fifth in a series of talks this year titled What Can Art Institutions Do?
Originally from Dundee, Scotland, Macgregor has been Director of the MCA since 1999. After negotiating a new funding model to allow the MCA to flourish, she has consolidated the MCA’s position as one of Sydney’s best loved institutions, engaging audiences with living artists. A bold, new, significantly expanded MCA opened in 2012. The redevelopment transformed the MCA, providing spacious new galleries, including an entire floor dedicated to the MCA collection, a state-of-the-art National Centre for Creative Learning, and public spaces that embrace one of the world’s most beautiful locations. Macgregor’s contribution to the arts was recognised with an OBE and an Australia Council Visual Arts Medal in 2011.
