On the move: latest arts sector appointments

Our weekly wrap of Australian arts sector appointments and departures returns for 2025.
On the Move is ArtsHub's weekly wrap of Australian arts sector appointments and departures. The photo shows six people silhouetted against a sunset; they are all leaping joyously into the air, their arms raised above their heads triumphantly.

After more than a decade at the helm of Gasworks Arts Inc. (also known as Gasworks Arts Park, and located in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Albert Park) Director and CEO Tamara Jungwirth has resigned. Her last day at Gasworks was 11 December 2024.

Jungwirth took on the role in 2010 and has led major upgrades to the Gasworks theatres and facilities (including introducing the staging of works outdoors, which have become popular summertime programming for the venue). She also successfully managed the organisation through the difficult COVID-19 years, and has overseen a vibrant program of theatre, circus, art exhibitions, sculpture commissions and live music events, which have drawn artists and audiences to the precinct.
