Appointment of Steven Alderton As Director of Mosman Art Gallery

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I want to congratulate Steven Alderton, on his appointment as the new Director of Mosman Art Gallery and Mosman Council's Manager of Cultural Services. Steven brings with him more than three decades of leadership in the arts, and his appointment is a significant moment for our local cultural landscape. His impressive career includes leadership roles at some of the nation's most respected institutions, including the National Art School, the Australian Museum, and Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. His curatorial achievements, including exhibitions with some of Australia's most iconic artists such as Margaret Olley, John Olsen, and Tracey Moffatt, demonstrate a lifelong commitment to excellence in the arts. Steven's depth of experience, both here and internationally, will be an incredible asset to Mosman. His vision for cultural development, education, and community engagement aligns perfectly with the values that have made Mosman Art Gallery such a treasured institution. I thank outgoing Director John Cheeseman for his 15 years of dedicated service and leadership and congratulate Steven Alderton on his appointment. I look forward to seeing the next exciting chapter for Mosman Art Gallery under his guidance.
