The Lightbulb Moment with St Vincent’s Health Network Art Curator, Alice McAuliffe

*The Lightbulb Moment *explores electrifying moments of realisation and inspiration from entrepreneurs in diverse fields. Hosted by cultural entrepreneur and author, *Emilya Colliver,* we ask entrepreneurs about their “lightbulb moment” i.e. their creative epiphany, to find out what brought it on and how they followed through with it to get where there are today. Each episode is packed with practical tips to work towards your own lightbulb moment. For Art Glider's final episode of Season 2 'The Lightbulb Moment' we chat with *Alice McAuliffe*, a creative producer who has worked in the arts and cultural sector for over twenty years. She has undertaken projects for a variety of institutions, galleries and grassroots organizations in Australia and internationally. Alice's work develops and implements art projects and programming, often outside of the gallery context, to bring art, artists and people together in the creative process. This work aims to empower participants and activate spaces for community benefit. Previously, she has initiated UTS ART Live, a series of temporal arts performances developed collaboratively by university students and contemporary artists, and the Warrabura Nura garden, a permanent installation of Indigenous medicinal plants and accompanying resources to connect audiences with Country within the urban environment. Alice is currently an art curator at St Vincent’s Health Network Sydney, implementing a patient-centred arts health program across the hospital and ancillary spaces.
