Curious about how leading arts organisations operate and envision the future of creative practice?

Join our industry discovery day to hear from leading local arts organisations.

This program is designed for early career creative practitioners (including our Kickstart artists, who’ll be joining us) to build their knowledge and connections.

Next Wave defines an early career creative practitioner as someone at the beginning of their career. This can include anyone working in the arts, such as artists, arts workers, curators, community organisers, producers and performers. Next Wave does not define early-career by age, and recognises that you can come to your career later in life.

Come along to gain insights into the work of arts organisations and their impact on the broader arts ecology.
