Horizon 2025.
Creative Director.
In my role as Creative Director, Creative Arts at Sunshine Coast Council I built a new festival team, curated and lead the delivery of Horizon 2025 and helped shape the long term strategy for the regions leading contemporary arts festival.
Horizon is a meeting point and a dividing line. Somewhere to connect, captivate, and challenge your notions — a place to wander and wonder through new art, music, performance and more. Horizon is a continuum. Always evolving, shifting slowly over time. Never lost, always searching.
In its ninth year, Horizon 2025 was grounded in the idea of radical hope. Curated with the proposition that experiencing art is a radical act — inviting audiences into moments of collective action, shared purpose, and resilience.
Horizon is presented by Sunshine Coast Council with support of Queensland Government through Arts Queensland and Tourism and Events Queensland and major partners Old Ambulance Station, SolBar and Big Top Shopping Centre. The festival program featured over 50 events across 10 locations — from a country pub in Mapleton, to Stumers Creek in Coolum, the urban streets of Maroochydore and Nambour to the stunning coastline of Alexandra Headland.
