In October, the Adelaide Festival Centre hosted its Arts Leadership Program, a fully-funded, four-day intensive for arts workers from across the Asia Pacific region, including Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines. Coinciding with the OzAsia festival, the program saw 17 participants selected from a pool of 80 applications taking part.
