  • Introducing Lemonade Live

    It is such a pleasure to share news of Lemonade Live: a new pilot project that invites each week’s writer to also read their review aloud. Lemonade Live offers a forum for writers to add off-the-cuff and additional reflections, tangents, caveats, and explanations to their review and for audiences to hear the voice and connect with the image of art critics.

    Lemonade Live can be live-streamed on Wednesdays and Fridays at midday or replayed anytime via Instagram.

    Lemonade Live is funded by Moreton Bay Regional Council through the Regional Art Development Fund. It runs from July to December 2024.
