Introducing our Council members...
The governing body of the Australia Council for the Arts is called the Council. These men and women are chosen for their experience, passion, and skills. They generously share their knowledge and are a formidable force in moving the arts ahead in Australia.
They bring a wide variety of perspectives – all of which are important. They are artists, educators, business managers, and, of course, audience members. Our Council members represent the community and all the various art forms and the cast changes regularly. Read more about our individual Council members here. They share stories about how the arts have figured in their own lives: and where their passion and belief has come from.
