Notes on Adelaide podcast: The cultural deficit
Commentary
In this week’s episode we ask: How did South Australia lose its edge in arts and culture infrastructure and what can be done to fix it?
This week’s episode was recorded last week at the Lab – one of the venues at LIGHT – a not-for-profit arts and hospitality venture on Light Square.

Joining David Washington to unpack the issues is Rachel Healy, well known for her long stint in charge of the Adelaide Festival, the CEO of UKARIA Alison Beare and eminent composer and past director of the Elder Conservatorium of Music Graeme Koehne.
The Spotlight on the Arts forum is an initiative of LIGHT and InReview – a not-for-profit venture from Solstice Media designed to rekindle arts reviewing and critique in South Australia.
This is the second in our Spotlight series – the first focused on funding artists and was featured on our podcast.
