CuriousWorks exists at the intersection of contemporary multi-arts practice and community arts and cultural development. We work across art forms and disciplines, focusing on screen works, digital media, and emerging art forms. We nurture the ideas and the potential of art makers and future cultural leaders. We believe in ethical and self-determined storytelling, and the integrity of process; engaging deeply and meaningfully with artists, audiences, communities, and collaborators to produce and present new Australian work and cultural experiences that speak to the hyper-local of our home grounds in South West Sydney, and resonate far beyond. We do this through commissioning new local work, co-creating cultural experiences with communities and artists, providing arts education programs, generating leadership and skills development opportunities, creating employment pathways, partnering in research and cultural development initiatives, and advocating alongside our peers for systemic change. CuriousWorks is a registered social enterprise and certified member of both Social Traders and SECNA (Social Enterprise Council of NSW and ACT). Through our social enterprise model, we collaborate with clients and communities to deliver professional multimedia and community engagement services at competitive rates, while creating skills development and paid work opportunities for young people and early-career artists in South West Sydney. With a decade-long legacy, we’ve partnered with councils, schools, community organisations and corporations to capture their stories and deliver a range of impactful bespoke pieces of content and creative engagement workshops that educate, document, and offer opportunities for community creativity, collaboration, social bonding and skills development.
