Arts Advocacy Workshops

In September 2021, Arts West hosted a series of three free online advocacy workshops designed to support artists and arts organisations understand how best to advocate for your practice, for Melbourne’s west, and for arts and culture more broadly. Together we unpacked what advocacy is and created an Arts West advocacy plan.

The Arts West Advocacy Workshop Series was presented by Esther Anatolitis, one of Australia’s leading advocates for the arts. With a background in the media, architecture, and organisational leadership across all artforms, she has presented advocacy workshops for artists, leaders, organisations, boards, and industry groups. For well over a decade, Esther’s work in facilitating cross-industry advocacy has contributed to significant policy and funding outcomes at all levels of government.
