Manan Luthra, New voices, new directions: the young members of NSW’s biggest cultural boards, ArtsHub, 7 April 2026
Six young leaders joined the boards of New South Wales’ major cultural institutions last year. Who are they, and what changes do they hope to bring?
In October 2025, New South Wales’ most prestigious cultural establishments made a change. For the first time, they appointed directors aged between 18 and 28 to their governance boards.
In the words of NSW Minister for Youth Rose Jackson, these young leaders will ‘bring new life’ to these institutions. So what impact have they had so far, and what advice do they have for other emerging arts leaders?
