Ready to leap into something new? Regional Arts Victoria’s Creative Leadership Program could be the answer!
If you’re passionate about the arts and are looking to extend your skills in arts management, Regional Arts Victoria wants YOU! We are looking for young people who will complete VCE this year or have done so in the last two years and who are considering a career in arts management to apply for our
Creative Leadership Program.
Between 2-10 February 2013 we will provide aspiring arts leaders from regional Victoria with the opportunity to extend their career options and experience in the heart of Australia’s arts capital – Melbourne.
This will be a nine-day intensive program that brings you face-to-face with arts workers, directors, producers, and marketers from across Victoria. The program will focus on workshops, lectures, and projects with real-world experience a key focus to help get you started. We’ll also throw in some theatre tickets, museum passes and more, so that you really get a chance to experience everything the Melbourne arts scene has to offer. As if all of that isn't enough, upon completion of the Creative Leadership Program, you will continue to be a key part of the RAV community, with the potential to speak at events, participate in projects and generally have an influence on the arts in regional Victoria!
Our 2012 participants walked away with a swathe of experiences and inspiration, as well as a huge foot in the door to the arts industry:
“It was an absolutely amazing experience and my favorite moment was, surprisingly, evaluation day. It allowed me to see just how much I had actually learned [about arts management] in 9 days. It made me appreciate what an incredible opportunity this program was and it also made me realise the importance of the relationships I have formed with 11 of my [new] best friends!”
