The male artist presenting goddess (4)
I believe the answer is:
hera
'goddess' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'the male artist' is the wordplay.
'the male' becomes 'he'.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'he'+'ra'='HERA'
'presenting' is the link.
(Other definitions for hera that I've seen before include "Queen whose Roman counterpart was Juno" , "Consort of Zeus" , "Sister and wife of 18" , "marriage goddess" , "Regularly-deceived wife" .)
