Photographer Sarah Rhodes and journalist Alice McCormick journeyed into the homes of Australia’s most prominent and distinguished artists to unearth captivating stories of their lives and work.

Six of the featured artists – Wendy Sharpe, Anne Zahalka, Jason Benjamin, Nell, Luke Sciberras and Gria Shead – will join Alice McCormick and Sarah Rhodes at The Artist’s Lunch, a Festival literary luncheon at the famed Lucio’s Italian restaurant in Paddington, where they will enlighten us in person with stories of how food influences their work and what it is that fuels an artist’s creativity.

Lunch includes prosecco on arrival followed by entrée, main, cheese and fruit platters, tea and coffee and wine (communal seating with an artist sitting at your table).
