Since 1994 we have been empowering emerging creatives to amplify their unique talents and champion their drive and ambition to build a sustainable practice.
In 2024 we celebrate empowering emerging creatives for thirty years.
In this milestone year we cannot wait to showcase the incredible depth of creative talent that we have supported through our programs and professional development opportunities.
Much has changed over the past thirty years, but our purpose remains the same. We exist to champion South Australia’s most promising emerging creatives to realise their visions and build sustainable practices.
We are incredibly proud of our role in fostering a culture of recognition and appreciation for the challenges that emerging creatives face, today more than ever, as we continue to build a supportive community around them.
“Thirty years is a remarkable achievement, and one that everyone at the Helpmann Academy is honoured to be a part of. As part of our celebrations, we will be showcasing the impact the organisation has had for countless emerging artists over the decades and shining a spotlight on our community of supporters.”
