This week's show starts with a love story. A love story built on food, art, wine, and now a gallery.

Joining us on the show is Canberra based artist and gallery owner, Kacy Grainger. Kacy and her husband Richard met at art school in the 90s. She was studying art, he was studying art history and curation, and together after graduation they flew off to explore Europe.

Fast forward a decade or two, and there's been a wedding, a couple kids, seperate creative careers, and now a gallery.

Grainger Gallery opened in Canberra on the east coast of Australia in early 2020, just as the pandemic was settling in. Despite the timing, the gallery has gone from strength to strength, showing one of the most exciting and eclectic suites of artists. 

In today's episode of Interview With An Artist, Kacy and I talk about:

• the catalyst for opening a gallery of their own, 
• the ethos of how they run the gallery and work with their artists, 
• her tips for pricing works, 
• all the different hats she has to wear (and the one hat she's refrained from putting on), 
• and what takes a piece of art from being good to being great.

Listening to Kacy speak about how art is a family affair and the passion they all have for it, it's no wonder the gallery has been such a success.

Enjoy meeting the amazing Kacy Grainger.
