Creative Australia Leadership Labs support artists and arts workers to connect and make progress on shared priorities through an in-person day of inspiration and action.

Leadership Labs are free, one-day, in-person events designed to supports artist and arts workers to tackle the complex, systemic challenges across the arts and culture sector.

A cross between a workshop and a conference, the Leadership Labs help you better understand the system you’re working in, connect with peers in generative ways, and identify small but powerful actions you can test to create change.

At the Lab you’ll engage with inspiring perspectives from featured speakers, take part in practical breakout sessions, and leave with ideas you can apply in your context, organisation or community. You don’t need to be in a formal leadership role to attend – all you need is an interest in working collaboratively on shared challenges.

Each Lab is co-created with local curators to celebrate and platform sector-led leadership activity.

Curated by: Haneen Mahmood Martin
Facilitated by: Ananth Gopal

Hear from creatives such as:
🔸 Matthew Ngamurarri Heffernan
🔸 Shona Erskine
🔸 Katt Osborne
🔸 Jules Gabor
🔸 Alizé Ali-Scrogings
🔸 Martin Fatmaja Hoggart
