Leah Grace - Arts & Cultural Development Officer

In this interview I was lucky enough to sit down with Leah Gace. Leah is a self described arts worker employed by a non-arts entity. For the last almost 19 years she has acted and evolved in the role of arts and cultural development officer for Alexandrina council. There are very few people able to walk the line of government and the arts as gracefully and successfully as Leah; she is uniquely situated in the arts world and has insights rarely found. Her years of experience and unwavering enthusiasm have generated a wealth of knowledge, some of which she was kind enough to share. Hosted by Tyler Jackson Chappell This conversation was recorded at the South Coast Regional Arts Centre on Ngarrindjeri land.
