Good morning everyone. My name is Kim Gowland and I’m Principal Manager for Audience Development at Manchester City Galleries, and this is my colleague Jane Wilcox who is our Marketing Manager. Jane and I are delighted to be here in Australia and we really look forward to finding out more about your museums and galleries and how they compare to ours in the UK. We’d like to say a big thank you to Debbie Abraham from Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery for inviting us. Jane and I work primarily for Manchester Art Gallery, which is Manchester City Galleries flagship venue. (Some of you met Sara) We’ll be talking today about two quite different projects in which we are working together with museums and gallery partners to build relationships with audiences and stakeholders. Jane will talk to you about a regional project to grow and widen audiences and I will talk about a Manchester focused project aimed at building tourism audiences. As with all the presentations, this will be available online or we USB sticks with lots more information saved for those of you who are interested. I’ll now pass you on to Jane who will talk to you about our regional audience development programme Renaissance in the Regions.
