There is freedom in this role to choose on which of these aspects to focus on. You can work at times that fit with your schedule, and you will have access to friendly staff and a mentor to assist you.

We take ‘Expression of Interest’ from young artists at all stages of their artistic journey, prioritising underrepresented, new and local artists in Darebin. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with a disability, LGBTIQA+ people to apply for this opportunity.
