On behalf of the Shepparton Arts Festival Board, we’re inviting Expressions of Interest for new committee members to support the Festival as we move into our next chapter.

We’re particularly keen to welcome people who bring diverse lived experiences and reflect the richness of our region - including young people, First Nations people, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTQIA+ folks, and d/Deaf and disabled individuals.

In addition to strengthening our representation, we are also looking to fill key skills gaps, especially in the legal and financial space. There are multiple roles available, and we encourage anyone who is passionate about the arts, community, and inclusion to apply.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners, the Yorta Yorta Nation and the clans whose lands cover the area now called Greater Shepparton, the Kailtheban, Bangerang, and Nguaria-iilaiam-wurrung. We acknowledge that First Peoples have never ceded sovereignty over their lands. This always was, and always will be, their country. We are conscious that colonial laws and practices led to displacement and disempowerment, and that they continue to do so with a profound and rippling effect. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and to emerging leaders. We value their vision and strength that enabled the continuity of culture and connectedness to country.
