About CuriousWorks
CuriousWorks exists at the intersection of contemporary multi-arts practice and community arts and cultural development. We work across art forms and disciplines, focusing on screen works, digital media, and emerging art forms. We nurture the ideas and the potential of art makers and future cultural leaders. We believe in ethical and self-determined storytelling, and the integrity of process; engaging deeply and meaningfully with artists, audiences, communities, and collaborators to produce and present new Australian work and cultural experiences that speak to the hyper-local of our home grounds in South West Sydney, and resonate far beyond.
Our vision
c
We do this through commissioning new local work, co-creating cultural experiences with communities and artists, providing arts education programs, generating leadership and skills development opportunities, creating employment pathways, partnering in research and cultural development initiatives, and advocating alongside our peers for systemic change.
Our social enterprise model delivers professional multimedia and community engagement services at competitive rates. It supports skills development and employment pathways for young people and early-career artists in South West Sydney by pairing them with experienced artists in paid work opportunities.
With a decade-long legacy, we've partnered with councils, schools, community organisations and corporations to capture their stories and deliver a range of impactful creative workshops that increase community creativity, collaboration, social bonding and skills development. We are certified members of Social Traders and SECNA (Social Enterprise Council of NSW and ACT).
Vision
We want to see a fair, inclusive, equitable, innovative arts landscape that reflects the plurality and complexity of lived experience in contemporary Australia.
We want to see resources disseminated fairly and imbalances corrected. We want abundant opportunities and pathways in the arts for all and especially for historically marginalised and minoritized people and communities.
We want a cultural landscape that is inclusive and expansive, where anyone can create, participate, enjoy, and feel belonging and agency to explore their potential through the arts.
We will play our part in creating this future culture from our base in South West Sydney.
Impact
Our communities of focus often intersect, reflecting the reality of the plural and complex lived experiences in contemporary Australia. They include people from Western Sydney, First Nations peoples of Australia and the world, culturally and racially marginalised people and people of colour, LGBTQI+, young people, older people, people living with disability, people who may be experiencing financial hardship, and people seeking asylum or those newly settled in Australia.
