Michael Bailey , ‘We need the energy’: Gen Zs to get a seat on NSW cultural boards, The Australian Financial Review, 19 May 2025
The NSW government will create an extra seat for a director aged between 18 and 28 on each of its cultural institution boards, in an Australian first aimed at attracting future audiences.
The appointment of Generation Z directors to the six state-sponsored cultural institutions – the Art Gallery of NSW, Australian Museum, Museums of History, Powerhouse Museum, State Library and Sydney Opera House – was a key plank of the “creative communities” framework the Minns government produced last year to guide its arts and cultural policies for the next decade.
