10-year REVIEW

Reflecting with pride and gratitude.

 
 

The past 10 years have been an absolute whirlwind. It started with a simple idea between two friends, passionate, driven, and hungry to put a stamp on the arts industry. We’re humbled by the support Release Creative has received from colleagues, family, and friends. Our little organisation that could could has won grants, awards, and the hearts of many an audience.

 
 

A decade of impact...

 
 

After an unforgettable journey that spanned ten incredible years, it is with a mixture of nostalgia and pride that we close Release Creative and take this opportunity to reflect on the impact our organisation has had on the artistic landscape.

From the very beginning, Release Creative was driven by a shared vision: to unleash the transformative power of the arts and create immersive experiences that would stir the soul, challenge conventions, and ignite the imagination. Our diverse range of endeavours spanned the realms of theatre, music, large-scale events, creative developments, opera, and festivals, encompassing the full breadth of artistic expression.

Throughout our remarkable tenure, we were blessed to collaborate with 576 talented and dedicated artists and creatives. These individuals, with their unrivalled passion, inexhaustible creativity, and unwavering commitment, became the lifeblood of Release Creative. Together, we embarked on bold and audacious projects, pushing the boundaries of what was deemed possible and shaping the cultural fabric of our community.

It is difficult to encapsulate the sheer joy and wonder that our productions brought to the stage, resonating with over 110,000 cherished audience members. Whether it was a thought-provoking play that left audiences pondering the depths of the human condition, an electrifying concert that transported listeners to new sonic realms, or a mesmerizing festival that celebrated sense of place, our aim was always to inspire minds, and foster a sense of togetherness.

 

But, our journey must now come to an end. The challenges faced by arts organisations in recent times have been immense, and despite our efforts to weather the storm, the weight of those obstacles has proven insurmountable.

We wish to express our profound gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this extraordinary adventure. To our exceptional team of producers, artists and creatives, your boundless talent and tireless dedication will forever be etched in our memories. To our patrons, supporters, and community partners, your unwavering belief in our mission sustained us through every triumph and challenge.

While this chapter may be closing, we will continue to champion the arts, and support the talented individuals and organisations who are pushing the boundaries of creativity.

We are forever grateful for the opportunity to have embarked on this incredible journey, and for the unwavering support that sustained us along the way. As Release Creative takes its final bow, we extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who shared in our passion for creating something special on our Australian stages.

With deep appreciation,

Ruth & Zac
