Expanding Perth Festival’s cultural footprint from one signature event to a series of events spread out across the year, including this week’s EverNow, will enable the Festival to offer greater job security and longer-term contracts for many of its staff, according to Perth Festival Executive Director Nathan Bennett.
Creating more events spread across Western Australia’s cultural calendar ‘gives more job security to people, and means that we also find economies of scale in terms of everything that we might need to purchase, from technical equipment to media space,’ Bennett explains.
