Welcome to ARU’s Creative Showcase and the next generation of artists, storytellers, policy-shapers and change-makers.
We're here to question the answers, rebuild the broken and rethink the wisdom. Because we won't solve problems by doing things the way they've always been done. It's the future's turn.
Graduate Showcase 2024
Unlimited by boundaries and fuelled by purpose, our 2024 graduates’ work intends to be seen, heard and make change. Join us in a series of events through May and June to find new perspectives, uncover the unexpected and celebrate the next generation of artists, writers, performers, thinkers and creators.
