On the move: latest arts sector appointments

Our weekly round-up of Australian arts sector appointments from across the country.
On the Move is ArtsHubs weekly round up of arts sector appointments and resignations from around the country. The photo, taken with a slow shutter speed and manual tracking during the 2017 Chicago Marathon, depicts a man using a racnig wheelchair to compete in the marathon. The background of the photo is blurred, conveying the speed with which the three-wheeled wheelchair is propelled.

Melbourne Fringe has announced the appointment of two arts leaders who will join Carly Findlay OAM in designing and delivering the organisation’s Access Fringe program.

Caroline Bowditch joins Melbourne Fringe in the newly created position of Cultural Equity Consultant, where she will lead the strategic program design and vision of Access Fringe. Bowditch, who was previously the CEO of Arts Access Victoria for six years – a position she left in September 2024 – is renowned for her transformative work in the disability arts sector. Her leadership will help shape a future where cultural equity is central to all of Melbourne Fringe’s creative processes and outcomes.
