Creative Australia has announced the first 35 recipients of its new Creative Leadership Program, supporting leadership development for artists and arts workers across career stages.
Running from July 2024 to October 2025, this program will offer in-person and online connections including workshops, peer-to-peer mentoring, keynote presentations, and resources to support self-directed training and development.

We acknowledge the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and honour their Elders past and present.
We respect their deep enduring connection to their lands, waterways, and surrounding clan groups since time immemorial. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples’ artistic and cultural expressions. We are privileged to gather on this Country and to share knowledge, culture and art, now and with future generations.
