ABC TV Head of Arts Katrina Sedgwick said today that the national broadcaster is in a unique position to help shape the way Australians see the role the arts play in their lives.
‘There’s an incredible range of people who are engaged actively with the arts – at every year level and every week – who might then say, “Oh but I don’t engage with the arts”. I think it’s about labels and I think absolutely the ABC is in a unique place, because of our reach as the national broadcaster, to absolutely play a part in breaking down those walls and inviting more people in. It should be, it must be key to what we do, and it must be part of our ambition,’ Sedgwick said.
