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.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
