After 14 years at the helm of Vitalstatistix, Artistic Director and co-CEO Emma Webb OAM is stepping down from her role at the end of March.

For almost a decade and a half, Webb’s bold, creative and progressive leadership has steered important cultural and community conversations through Vitalstatistix’s multidisciplinary contemporary art and public engagement activities. The reach and impact of this work has been felt locally and nationally, and recently culminated in Vitalstatistix’s successful application for four-year Creative Australia funding as one of Australia’s critical and foremost experimental arts organisations.
