It’s good to be back in the *Art Monthly* clocktower. I had almost – but not quite – forgotten the pace of the magazine and its relentless deadlines, but it keeps us honest and on our toes. I am very grateful to Eve Sullivan, Guest Editor of the first four issues of the magazine this year, for stepping in and keeping the *Art Monthly* flag flying. She has done a terrific job (and it has been wonderful for me reading the issues quite distanced from the circumstances of their production)

It’s worth paying attention to the last Federal Budget because buried in it was a very significant decision for Australian artists. At first glance it was an odd place for it, but political logic being more about what lies below the surface than mere appearances, it starts to make sense when you look at the context and circumstances. ...

Art Monthly Australasia

Art Monthly Australasia is Australasia’s flagship visual arts publication, providing a critical platform for its artists. Published since 1987 under six full-time editors (Peter Townsend, Peter Timms, Philippa Kelly, Deborah Clark, Maurice O’Riordan and, from 2014, Michael Fitzgerald), it is Australasia’s only monthly visual arts magazine placing visual arts in a contemporary, historical and regional context.

Based at the ANU School of Art in Canberra since 1992, Art Monthly Australasia is a non-profit charitable organisation whose income is derived from sales of the magazine, advertising, sponsorship and government funding. Its board comprises leaders in their fields of visual arts scholarship, practice and curating, along with business and finance.

Since 2015, Art Monthly has also fostered critical discourse across the Asia-Pacific region with a new International Council, which, along with increased participation at international art fairs and biennales, is helping to provide a meaningful new context for its artists.
