Tamsin Cull joined the Queensland Art Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in 2002. She has been pivotal in playing a role in shaping how people engage with artworks and artists, in particular creating pathways of engagement for children and families.
ArtsHub caught up with Cull to explore some if the nuances of this critical role in the gallery sector.
I had had a professional career as a teacher before that, but I took the opportunity because I knew it was one that might not come up again, and I really just worked in different roles – in junior roles in public programs. I guess at that time – before there was a Children’s Art Centre – it was in children’s programs, and then GOMA opened. Since then I’ve held a couple of different roles, and now Head of Public Engagement.
