National President’s IntroductionIn last year’s introduction to the AMaGA AnnualReport I wrote, ‘In literally the dying momentsof 2019, we were not to know it, but a virus wasdetected in Wuhan, China and this was aboutto turn the world upside down.’ What nobodyappreciated a year ago, was the extent, impactand longevity of the pandemic. It has beenthe cause of so much difficulty for so many ofour members, their institutions and the publicthey love to serve. We have tried to be with ourmembers, every step of this journey, which isproving to be long and testing.Despite the impact of Covid-19, I am verypleased to report that this year we have madeso much progress on so many fronts. Indeed ourmembership has remained loyal and our financialposition at the end of 2020 is a great improvementon that of 2019, as the Treasurer’s report attests.Because we had begun to use Zoom regularly in2019, thanks to the generosity of AARNET, whenthe pandemic struck we could draw the NationalCouncil and the Executive together more oftento ensure we were keeping our staff safe, shoringup our finances and reviewing and refining ourstrategic directions.We have continued to rollout the new brandingwe adopted in 2019 and this has improved ourvisibility and reinforced our national reach. Thisbranding has now emerged in the redesignedAMaGA Magazine, MaG. The new format is veryflexible and we are looking to its further evolutionto ensure it remains a contemporary, visuallyattractive and inclusive magazine where memberscan find articles relevant to them.I am also pleased to report that the IndigenousRoadmap is being embraced by organisationsand individuals across the country. We establishedan Indigenous Advisory Committee which has a4membership of First Peoples from across Australiawho are engaged in assisting AMaGA to moveforward in sensitive and appropriate ways. We alsomanaged to achieve substantial philanthropicsupport through the Wood Foundation andthe Cartwright Douglas Fund to enable us tooffer Cultural Capability training to hundreds ofmuseums and gallery workers. Deane Fitzgeraldand Marcus Hughes, as seconded Indigenousrepresentatives on the National Council, have madea great contribution giving us wise and frank advice.My heart goes out to the ACT Branch who were tohave presented the 2020 AMaGA conference inMay 2020. We had to postpone this in March dueto the pandemic, hoping to reschedule in October.However, this date too had to be jettisoned andwe opted for June 2021. By 2021 they will havefelt like they have planned three conferences. Theheartening aspect is that almost every delegateto the conference rolled their registration overfrom the planned 2020 conference, to the 2021conference. Thanks to the ACT Branch, CarolCartwright and Conference Logistics for theirflexibility and resilience.Despite not having a Conference our annualMAPDA and MAGNA awards continued with thepresentation being held online. The 2020 NationalWinner of the MAGNAs was Tiati WangkanthiKumangka (Truth-Telling Together) from the BayDiscovery Centre in Glenelg, South Australia. Thedevelopment and content of this exhibition is sopertinent to today, rewriting the colonial narrativearound so-called European occupation.I would like to thank all the members of theNational Council for their input and commitment.I would like to especially thank Simon Elliot (VicePresident), Carol Cartwright (Secretary) andMargaret Lovell (Treasurer). They have all made an
excellent contribution to AMaGA and I have verymuch appreciated their wisdom and friendship.Our staff in the National Office, and the Victorianand Western Australian offices have done asterling job for us all, adapting to working fromhome for extended periods. The State andTerritory Branches have been very active andcontinue to deliver to their local membership.Alex Marsden, our National Director for the lastsix years, has written her last annual report. Alexresigned at the end of 2020. Alex provided greatleadership in the sector and executed AMaGA’svision and strategy. Alex never shirked an issueand worked tirelessly to advocate on behalfof AMaGA and the sector as a whole. We areindebted to her.We recruited Katie Russell in the last month of2020 to succeed Alex as National Director. Welook forward to Katie building on the success weenjoyed with Alex, in her own distinctive way.This will be my fourth and last President’sIntroduction to an AMaGA Annual Report. I waselected National President in 2017. In 2018 weconsulted the membership as we carried out astrategic review which resulted in support for aname change and a new unifying brand. In 2019we took a risk and ran a conference in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. It was a huge success. We launchedthe Indigenous Road Map after years of work. In2020, when Covid struck, we drew a deep breathand moved promptly to protect the organisationand its employees. We moved our operation evenmore online. Also, in 2020 our National Directorresigned, however we found an excellent newone. It has been a most eventful four years and Ithank you all for the experience and your generoussupport.

National Director’s Introduction2020 was a challenging year. The COVID-19pandemic had and continues to have a hugeimpact on our lives and our sector. AMaGA, throughthe national council committees, national office,state and territory branches, and national specialinterest networks, worked incredibly hard to supportall our members and advocate for arts, cultureand heritage. While some projects and programswere put on hold, such as the national conference,others accelerated. Thank you for your support inso many ways: responding to the COVID-19 impactsurveys, renewing your membership or joining forthe first time, flocking to the webinars and giving usgreat feedback, rolling over your registration for thenational conference to 2021, submitting a recordnumber of entries to the national awards programs,and having a go at implementing the IndigenousRoadmap.What didn’t change was the range and variety ofthe work we do across the country. Read moreabout what the branches have been doing in theirsections later in this Annual Report.In 2020, the branches also carried out manyactivities and projects in AMaGA’s ownImplementation Plan for the Indigenous Roadmapwhich was launched in Alice Springs / Mparntwe inMay 2019. A summary of the Plan and a progressreport from around the country was posted to thewebsite. It includes National Council’s Statement ofReflection, which was a key recommendation in theRoadmap.Another Roadmap recommendation was theestablishment of a new Indigenous RoadmapAdvisory Group. I am very happy to say that this was6established in 2020 and has met with the mostimpressive and generous cultural leaders fromaround Australia and chaired by our own Indigenousnational councilors, Marcus Hughes and DeanneFitzgerald. Information about the members is onthe website — and they are all delighted to becomeinvolved in their state/territory branch events anddiscussions.And still on the Roadmap, national office workedvery hard throughout the second half of the yearon designing AMaGA’s program to offer CulturalCapability training to 500 museum and galleryworkers. Supported by the generosity of the WoodFoundation and the Cartwright Douglas Fund, withfurther contributions from some networks and stateand territory branches, the program was launchedsuccessfully in December.Other work in the national office includedcontinuing advocacy in many different forums,over 20 webinars in 2020’s expanded nationalprofessional development program, designingand launching the revamped national magazine,MaG, increased membership support, and threeTouchpoint Surveys on the impacts of COVID-19. Iappeared as a witness at the Senate Hearing intoNationhood, National Identity and Democracy on 13November. All the submissions lodged in 2020 areavailable on the website.AMaGA was also instrumental in the establishmentof a Cultural Response to Disaster Taskforce,initially founded in response to the 2019-2020bushfires. This Taskforce included sectorcolleagues from key peak bodies such as ALIA,NAVA, FAHS, ALGA, National Trust, NSLA. Key
outcomes are outlined in this Annual Report.As always, I must thank the hard-working staff of theNational Office, Lee Scott, Stephanie Hamilton, andEvie Kollas, and note that our national professionaldevelopment officer, Lucinda McCann, moved toanother job in November, having developed anddelivered an outstanding webinar series in 2020and the draft program for 2021. Lucinda made a bigcontribution to AMaGA and GLAM Peak over theyears and will be greatly missed.Led by National President, Dr Robin Hirst, NationalCouncil met four times using Zoom throughout2020, to steer the organization throughout thischallenging year. Council committees also workedhard on providing guidance and advice. I greatlyappreciated their unstinting efforts and support forthe organisation and my role as director at such astressful time.AMaGA is also grateful for the Jobkeeper financialassistance provided in 2020 and is well placed tosupport members and the sector in 2021.This is my last director’s report as your nationaldirector. It has been a privilege to be in one of themost rewarding roles in the country. I wish the newdirector, Katie Russell, every success and know thatshe can count on your engagement with AMaGAand commitment to our shared values.

About the AssociationThe Australian Museums and Galleries AssociationIncorporated (AMaGA), formerly MuseumsAustralia Incorporated, was established in January1994, arising from a planned decision to mergea number of separate museums associationslong existing in Australia. A convergent desireemerged in the 1990s to strengthen the museumssector nationally (in its services delivery, policies,programs, training and interface with government):to pursue shared objectives on a collaborativebasis through one strong national body, with bothorganisational as well as individual membershipsupporting and providing direct expertise andinput for the museums and galleries sectornationally.VisionInspiring Australia’s cultural life through a thrivingand valued museum and gallery sector.MissionSupport, promote and advocate for our membersto strengthen Australia’s museum and gallerysector.What We DoAs a national membership association we provideadvice, representation, support and services toenable organisations and individuals to thrive;and as a peak body we advocate on behalf of thesector to communicate the value of museumsand galleries, raise professional standards, informpolicy, and promote ethical practice.Our Values AMaGA champions its membership andthe museums and galleries sector asresources for social development, basedon equality of opportunity and support forintellectual, cultural and social diversity. AMaGA promotes an understanding ofheritage as including natural and cultural,tangible and intangible dimensions.Heritage is conserved through particularobjects and people, sites and places,events and narratives, music andperformance, song, dance, scientificresearch, history and other humanactivities that convey knowledge and bearcultural meaning. AMaGA affirms that governments andcommunities share responsibility tosupport and resource the arts and theconservation and communication of thenation’s heritage. AMaGA believes that the distinctivework museums and galleries pursuein conjunction with communities inpreservation, research, interpretation,education and public programming iscritical to the conservation of the nation’smemory. AMaGA recognises Australia’s Indigenouspeoples as the nation’s First Peoples andis committed to ensuring that Indigenouspeople have control and managementof their cultural heritage and are activeparticipants in any interpretation to thewider community. AMaGA supports ICOM’s AustralianNational Committee – as our ‘internationalcommittee’ – which offers importantresources for extending the nationalmuseum sector’s contacts and accessto international networks for professionaldevelopment, partnerships and exchange.Our Environment Commonwealth, State and Localgovernment policy for our sector variesgreatly across Australia: from strongsupport to sometimes minimal provision. Government funding for our sector also9
varies greatly, with some increasedconstruction of facilities not matchedby investments in staff or programs.Government-funded operational budgetsare generally constrained, while nongovernment resources are increasinglysought and secured.Increasing cultural and age diversityacross Australia, with our sector generallyrelying on an often older workforce andan increasingly higher proportion ofvolunteers.Increasing expectations from Australia’sIndigenous peoples for protectionof, respect for, and engagement inpresentation of their contemporary art andcultural heritage.Greater community and government focuson ethical cultural heritage acquisition andcollection building.Increasing community focus onenvironmental sustainability and theimpacts of climate change.Our ObjectivesAMaGA’s objectives are outlined in the CorporateStrategic Plan for 2019-2021. The four Focus Areasare:1.Individual & Organisational Members Develop and share skills through delivery ofservices, guidance and products Provide opportunities for members toengage and interact Increase and sustain member numbers2.Leadership, Representation & Advocacy Government/s seek and respect our views Be a focused, forward-thinking, unifiedvoice Achievements/ public value of sectorrecognised and celebrated103.Sustainable & Resilient Organisation Resilient financial base with risks managed Resilient organisation (people, resources &enablers) Timely and responsive secretariat supportof national council, standing committees,state committees Effective management of membership anddatabase4.Partners, Stakeholders & Supporters Partnering with Australia’s Indigenouspeoples Increasing digital literacy and access tocollections Partnering with allied organisations Partnering with the philanthropic sectorNational Association FundingThe work of the Association is primarilyenabled through its members (large and smallOrganisational Members as well as IndividualMembers).

Galleries cater to the various types of works available. They may range from pure painting galleries showing only impressionist paintings to galleries that offer a wide range of products. Therefore, it is difficult to categorize galleries by art form. Galleries also vary greatly in size. The
