Learning what you need to know when working in the arts can be a challenge. Unlike our friends in large organisations with extensive training budgets, most arts workers don’t have human resources teams creating capability frameworks and leadership development programs to help us achieve our career goals and meet organisational outcomes. Industry support bodies like the Australia Council for the Arts, the National Association for the Visual Arts and Creative Partnerships Australia do what they can to support those in creative occupations with often-limited budgets, but for many obtaining access to professional development can be difficult whether it be due to time, money or resource constraints.
