MEET THE PANEL

Tara Callaghan
Tara has worked within the Gallery and Museum sector for over 16 years. Originally graduating from the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Tara has held significant positions across the private, government and tertiary sectors in QLD, NSW and SA. Bringing her distinct love and knowledge of the sector to her current role, Tara works with IAS Fine Art Logistics as the State Manager for South Australia and the Northern Territory. IAS has been servicing the Adelaide market for over 25 years. The recent opening of the IAS Adelaide branch will extend on this service offering; with climate-controlled storage, local transport, packing and crating.

Angus Adameitis
Angus has enjoyed a hands-on career managing projects of all scales across the arts and culture industries, including blockbuster exhibitions, public art events and private collections. Angus thrives on problem solving the ‘how to’ of building, transporting, and installing all sorts of amazing objects – from life-size shark models, giant metal sculptures, prehistoric woolly mammal specimens, rare cultural artefacts, priceless room-sized oil paintings – and everything in between. Completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at National Art School and graduating with a major in Sculpture has strongly informed his methods of resolving practical challenges.
