Registrations for the Darwin Leadership Lab are now open!

Part workshop, part conference, Leadership Labs help you better understand the systems you’re working in, connect and collaborate with peers in meaningful ways, and identify small but powerful actions you can test to create change.

You don’t need to be in a formal leadership role to attend, just an interest in collaborating to identify and address shared challenges.

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

Registration closes Friday 19 June. Support to attend is available.

Not located in Darwin? Keep an eye out for upcoming Labs in other locations later this year.

Music’s cultural value is undeniable. Making the case for it, however, increasingly relies on clear, credible data.

Join us on Tuesday 19 May at 3.30pm AEST as we present the second edition of our annual economic study, The Bass Line, live from the @vmdo___ 2026 Music Data & Insights Summit, with Chris Carey (@ffwdgroup) leading an interactive session unpacking the findings.

Building on the first edition, this report draws on new data to provide an updated snapshot of how the music industry operates today, mapping where income is generated, how it flows across the sector, and how these patterns are shifting over time.

The session will focus on how to interpret the data and how The Bass Line can inform policy, investment and decision making to support a thriving and sustainable Australian music industry.

Consultation submissions are now open for the next National Cultural Policy.

Your feedback will directly inform the development of the next phase of the National Cultural Policy, building on the strong foundations of Revive: A place for every story, a story for every place.

Submissions are open to all, and we strongly encourage voices from across the arts sector to take part. Read the consultation paper and share your feedback.

We warmly congratulate Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino on the opening of their presentation ‘conference of one’s self’ at the Australia Pavilion for the International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia.

Khaled Sabsabi uses moving image, sound, painting, and installation to explore human collectiveness, the complexities of identity politics, and the impact of ideology. Informed by his lived experience and tasawwuf (Sufi) lineage and spiritual teachings, he uses repetition, rhythm and duration throughout his practice as tools for engagement and contemplation. Sabsabi says, ‘I firmly believe that a shared humanity has always relied upon our sense of imagination. I make art that creates possibilities to push limits and question perceptions of who we are.’

Exhibition dates: May 9 – November 22 2026

Khaled Sabsabi presents ‘conference of one’s self’, curated by Michael Dagostino at the Australia Pavilion, located in the Giardini della Biennale, as a part of the Biennale Arte 2026, commissioned by Creative Australia.
