Calling all innovators – don’t miss the rare chance to help shape the future of youth arts in South Australia.
Carclew, a leader in nurturing young artistic talent for more than 50 years, is inviting Expressions of Interest from visionary thinkers and practitioners.
As part of Carclew’s goals outlined in its Strategic Plan for Art, Culture and Creativity for every child and young person in South Australia, the organisation is launching two key initiatives – the Early Creative Careers Review and the Carclew Funding Program Review, with the aim of reshaping its approach to supporting early career artists.
Two opportunities are open for an EOI from arts and thought leaders with demonstrated experience in the relevant field:
- Shaping the Future of Creative Careers: Carclew has a proud history of fostering early creative careers — from Arts Administration Traineeships that launched in 1996 to the more recent Sharehouse Program. As art industries and creative industries evolve, organisations have to re-evaluate the best ways to support the next wave of emerging talent. There are also more programs than ever giving bespoke early career opportunities. The Early Creative Careers Review will assess what’s working, identify gaps, and propose new strategies to elevate and amplify opportunities for young creatives across South Australia.
- Reimagining Funding: The second EOI, the Carclew Grant Program Review, will investigate how Carclew’s funding can be even more inclusive, innovative, and impactful. With competition for government funding increasing due to pressing societal challenges, the need for a sustainable, forward-thinking approach to arts investment has never been greater.
"We know that art is not a luxury — it’s essential," Mimi Crowe, CEO of Carclew, said.
"Creative thinking will be what helps us navigate an uncertain future, and the arts sector needs to be ready.
"Through these EOIs, we’re inviting experts to help us rethink, reimagine, and reinvigorate the way we support young artists in South Australia."
EOIs close on Friday, 28 March at 5pm. For more information click here.
