Dedicated To The Dedicated Opening Night

In this episode, listen to insightful and often candid reflections of Gough Whitlam's impact on the Arts in Australia, delivered by a number of speakers on the opening night of Dedicated to the Dedicated: Whitlam, the Arts and Democracy.

The exhibition features the first public display of a collection of artworks that was gifted to Gough and Margaret Whitlam in 1979 in recognition of their landmark support for the Arts in Australia. The ‘Whitlams’ Folio’ includes works by John Olsen, Brett Whiteley, Lloyd Rees, John Coburn, Arthur Boyd and more, and is inscribed with a message of thanks to Gough and Margaret Whitlam for ‘the marks they have made on the Australian canvas’.

Opened on 6 June 2019, at the Margaret Whitlam Galleries, Whitlam Institute within Western Sydney University.
