NEWS: (approx. 4.00) Ends approx. 5.20 It can be hard enough keeping up with the ever increasing amounts of art produced in Australia. So how do you keep International audiences informed? The Australia Council... the Federal Governments arts funding and advisory body... has launched a site to take care of this very job. It's called OzArts.com.au. I asked RON LANE... Manager of the Audience and Market Development Division of The Australia Council... what to expect when you open the site.
