Meeting with Andrew Donovan from Australia Council for the Arts
On June 25, 2009, the Inter-Arts Office at the Canada Council hosted an informal gathering to welcome the Australia Council’s Inter-Arts Office director, Andrew Donovan. Held at the Cinémathèque québecoise in Montreal, the meeting was informative and enlightening; in addition to having outlined a summary of the Australia Council’s current preoccupations within the interdisciplinary arts, Mr. Donovan’s short presentation alerted us to a handful of provocative and innovative projects being carried out across Australia.
