Announcing the 2024-25 Creative Leadership cohort

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.

Guided by experienced facilitator Kath Melbourne, the group will spend time on Country learning from First Nations Elders, and hear from artists and arts workers who are driving change in our arts and creative communities.
