Introducing our new GM!

We’re thrilled to announce the appointment of Diana Fisk as General Manager of the Shepparton Arts Festival!

Diana brings a wealth of experience as a film producer, storyteller and creative leader, and importantly, she brings it home. Raised on the lands of the Yorta Yorta people, in the Goulburn Valley, Diana’s connection to the Festival began over 20 years ago, and this new chapter is both a return and a reimagining.

“To now return and lead the festival that shaped so much of my personal and professional journey is something I feel incredibly proud of.” – Diana Fisk

Joining Diana are Kristen Retallick, stepping into a new role as Artistic Director after several years of leading the Festival with care and creativity, and Billy-Jo Royle, our vibrant new Administration Coordinator.

As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Festival in 2026, this new team is focused on honouring our legacy while building a future that’s bold, inclusive and deeply connected to the Goulburn Valley.

The team can’t wait to meet you at an event soon.
