Art Guide Australia is a print and online magazine exploring contemporary Australian art. Our editors and our team of writers and contributors know the local art scene and keep you informed through engaging and thoughtful articles.

We speak with artists, curators and gallerists to learn more about their ideas and share them with an audience who want to know more about Australian art and what to see.

 We’re here to support a vibrant and diverse arts community and our aim is to provide independent, considered editorial coverage alongside a comprehensive picture of what’s happening in the visual arts across Australia.

In this issue: 

Women in the arts pervades our September/October issue, from our cover artist Cate Consandine talking about the female gaze, to Julie Rrap pushing the boundaries of how womens’ bodies are depicted and interpreted, to an exhibition of four Aboriginal women artists showing the power of matriarchal bonds and sisterhood. We visit Sarah Contos’s studio, chronicle Lindy Lee’s journey creating her most magnificent work yet, and explore Vera Möller’s love of marine life. And even though women outnumber men in the arts by two-to-one, gender inequities remain rife—women love the art world, notes writer Neha Kale, but does the art world love women?
