Marcus Westbury is a broadcaster, writer, media maker and festival director who has been responsible for some of Australia’s more innovative, unconventional and successful cultural events.

Currently Marcus is the writer and presenter of Not Quite Art on ABC1. Not Quite Art has variously been described as “the kick up the arse Australia’s TV arts needed” (Arts Hub), “the freshest, most illuminating, thoughtful and funny locally made arts program in years” (The Age), the “Best Arts Show of the Year” (SMH), “a delightful, witty and above all intelligent journey” (Stilgherian blog) and proof “that in the right hands and with a well thought-out brief, coverage of the arts can be arresting, provocative and relevant” (The Age). He has also appeared as panellist on ABC TV programs including QandA, Vulture, Critical Mass and Recovery.
Marcus was previously a director of several major cultural festivals including This Is Not Art, Next Wave, LOUD, Noise and the Cultural festival of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.
