Timeline

1999

Elizabeth Ann MacGregor is a curator and art historian who was director of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Sydney, Australia from 1999 until October 2021.

Born in Dundee, Scotland, to a Church of Scotland priest who later became a bishop of the Scottish Episcopal Church and his wife, MacGregor's family moved to Stromness in the Orkney Islands for most of her childhood, which she shared with many foster children her parents took in; they adopted her younger sister.

As part of her education there she studied five languages and music.

She played in the Youth String Orchestra of Scotland and planned on a career in music until a maths teacher told her that would be "a shocking waste of a good brain."

She attended the University of Edinburgh and graduated with a Masters in the History of Arts.

She subsequently completed a diploma in Museum and Gallery Studies in Manchester, England.

On completing her studies, MacGregor's first job was with the Scottish Arts Council, for whom she was curator and driver of their mobile art gallery, an experience she says taught her that people are not alienated from contemporary art by the art itself as much as they might be by the way it is presented.

She then worked for the Arts Council of Great Britain for three years, before spending ten years as director of the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, where she made it a priority to reach out to the area's non-white population.

She was appointed director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) in 1999 and moved to Sydney.

When she took over the museum was struggling financially, a decade after its creation, and bankruptcy threatened.

MacGregor eliminated the regular admission fee, which increased visitation sixfold over the next decade as well as donations and revenues from the gift shop.

2006

MacGregor contributed a chapter titled "Investment in Culture: Folly or Necessity? in the 2006 publication, Talking About Sydney: Population, community and culture in contemporary Sydney, edited by Robert Freestone, Bill Randolph and Caroline Butler-Bowdon. She contributes the forewords for books on artists and exhibitions produced by the MCA. She also contributed an essay, "A Tale of Two Cultures", to Essentially Creative, edition 23 of the Griffith Review.

2016

From 2016 to 2019 MacGregor served as President of the Board of the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art for a three-year term.

She has established a strong working relationship with the Tate in London, resulting in the joint acquisition of works by 15 Australian artists.

In March 2021 she announced that she would resign from the MCA, which she had helped weather the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, effective October 2021, to return to Scotland and spend more time with her family.

2018

The pressure this put on the museum's physical plant was eased by an addition to the former government office building on Circular Quay that housed it which nearly doubled its space and allowed visitation to reach over a million by 2018.
