Appointed just 14 months ago, CEO and Artistic Director of the Brisbane Powerhouse, Kate Gould, returned to the RiverCity after an 18-year absence. With a solid background in programming, plus management roles at the Adelaide Festival and the creation of Dark Mofo festival in Tasmania, Gould arrived with an enthusiastic vision to rejuvenate and revitalise the current arts programming.
‘The strengths here were the incredible building, which offered so many riverside opportunities, plus inheriting a very hard-working team,’ said Gould.
