has a shared vision to deliver powerful, meaningful projects from NAIDOC week events to national festivals and assisting with projects that reach out to the Mob.
We are excited about producing events that serve our community and celebrate and platform the skills and talents of the community.
Within the collective we all have projects on the go. The collective ethos is to use this shared space to uplift and inspire one another- and to support each of our creative endeavours.
Our origin story
In early 2024 a group of creatives came together to present a production of a lifetime (literally). With a tight timeframe and the utmost consideration required, Elaine Crombie curated ‘ The Final Love Letter’ – an ode to her mother, the great and late Lillian Crombie.
This touching and powerful farewell production brought together an Allstar cast of well known and celebrated artists, but also brought us together as a team of people learning to collaborate our combined skills to curate and deliver projects and productions with great spirit, skill and success. With the dream to continue to work together, we formed ‘The Collective’.
