Up Late | Life as an artist

Join Dr Chris Bennie—artist, curator, and Acting Gallery Coordinator at Logan Art Gallery—for an inspiring and practical presentation on the realities of life as an artist. With over two decades of experience in the Australian art industry, Chris will offer a candid look into the creative process, sharing strategies to overcome distraction and procrastination, and how to stay motivated in a competitive field.

This engaging session will also explore the many roles available for art lovers beyond making art, including exhibition installation, conservation, registration, and more. Whether you’re an emerging artist or simply passionate about the arts, you’ll gain valuable insights into the diverse opportunities within the sector.

Dr Bennie will also introduce the world of grants—how they can support your creative journey and where to find them. Expect a generous, informative, and empowering conversation that demystifies the art world and encourages you to find your place within it.
