Over recent decades, the Australian arts and cultural sector has started to shift away from a colonial legacy of Eurocentrism, North American cultural references and male/heteronormative dominated programming. Broadly described as a process of cultural democratisation, increased diversity and inclusion takes many forms across the visual arts sector, impacting its institutions and canons as well as the profile of the visual arts within society at large. In this chapter, we describe some of the diverse practices that have been part of these changes and their impact on visual art forms, modes of art production and circulation, and individual artists. While we note evidence of institutional change and diversification of art practices, the question remains as to whether this rhetoric of democratisation can deliver a more equitable distribution of income, and an ongoing impact on the economic well-being of visual artists.
