    Brett Sheehy CONFESSIONS of a GATEKEEPER

    Address To The Inaugural Currency House/ Australia Business Arts Foundation 2009 Arts And Public Life Breakfast 31 March At The Sofi tel, Melbourne On Collins Brett Sheehy CONFESSIONS OF A GATEKEEPER Hello and welcome everyone. I quickly want to thank Harold for introducing me today. Harold barely knew me when, in November 2001, he fl ew from Melbourne to Sydney to attend my fi rst ever festival launch in Customs House down at Sydney’s Circular Quay. His reason was simple - he loves the arts, I was a fairly new kid on the festival block, and he wanted to show his support. And that support has continues to this day, unabated. I appreciate it tremendously, and it’s a privilege to fi nally share a stage with him, in what is now, mutually, our hometown. So thank you Harold. These confessions of an arts gatekeeper which I’m going to share this morning are personal, frequently intuitive, born of 25 years of observation and experience in the arts, but also not absolutes – all are debatable, but not one, I think, is disprovable. An arts gatekeeper is really a kind of artistic ‘door bitch’, someone charged with the responsibility of deciding when the ‘velvet rope’ is lifted, and which art will, and will not, be seen by the public of Australia. And while the metaphor of the ‘velvet rope’ makes light of it here, the role is actually riven with anxiety and stress – so important do I think the responsibility is, and so potentially charged with hubris. Gatekeepers come in many guises – festival directors, artistic directors of theatre and dance companies, museum and gallery curators, music directors of opera houses and orchestras, arts centre programmers, book publishers and record producers.

The past twelve months have been a period of challenges and opportunities for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, in particular new and emerging communities. With each day that passes, we see the breadth of the contribution that migrants and refugees make to the social, economic and cultural life of South Australia, enriching communities in the metropolitan and regional areas and showcasing our State as an exemplar of peace, harmony and acceptance. As in 2012-13, this past year has seen a continuation of the growing interest in multiculturalism.
