Sue Smith : Season 3, Episode 2

CQUniversity Podcast - Greatvine

This week on the Greatvine we chat with CQUni's Art Collection Manager Sue Smith. We hear how Sue was destined for life in the arts. We learn how she was once a librarian, an art critic, historian and art museum director, and she even spent time working in London, rubbing shoulders with artists from the world's most influential arts scene. We learn about the resurgence of the Brisbane arts scene in the 80s and how a job managing the Rockhampton Art Gallery would see Sue make a home in the CQ region. We hear how her role at CQUni involves managing $2.4 million of artworks spread across the University's campus footprint and how the CQU Creates art competition has become an annual opportunity for artists to exhibit their talents.
