Lemonade is art criticism for the Sunshine State.
Lemonade is inspired by the yellow glaze that filters Queensland’s sky. It references the effervescent sensation of quenching a summer’s thirst, and is a subtle ode to the state’s first art critic—Gertrude Langer—and her penchant for describing art as fresh and refreshing.
Lemonade offers love letters to the artworld, promising to satiate a contemporary thirst for discourse while illuminating the best art exhibitions for local, national and international readers.
Lemonade aspires to be accessible, engaging, experimental, concise, humble, exploratory, passionate and jargon-free.
Lemonade is written by established and emerging writers, critics, curators, and artists. It began as micro reviews on Insta and now takes the form of full length reviews, which arrive weekly, for free, in your inbox.
