S5 Ep 100 - IWAA The Gallery Edition | Amber Creswell Bell of Michael Reid

Season 5 of Interview With An Artist is Gallery Directors from around Australia. 

Amber Creswell Bell is the Director of Emerging Art at Michael Reid.

Amber’s career into art began with writing, and then curating her own shows with artists she hand picked, to eventually being approached by Michael to join their team. In the five years since joining the group, her role has evolved from an online focus to a much larger remit.

In today’s episode we talk about:

  •  the evolution of her role and what it now entails
  • the learnings the team have had from year 1 to year 2 of the National Emerging Art Prize
  • we unpack the term emerging
  • and how they chose the 4 artists they are now representing at MRNB
  • her 2023 book release
