When we activate our creativity and, by extension, our civic participation, we create belonging, give voice to experience, and generate new thinking toward future possibilities.

Our network of skilled arts and cultural practitioners are dedicated to building Australia’s recovery capabilities and supporting the growth of confident, connected, disaster resilient communities.
Arts and cultural programs have a unique capacity to build social cohesion - an essential tool that helps communities be prepared for disasters, and supports them to respond and recover better when they occur. Here's how we are strengthening disaster management through creativity.
Response can mean many things – care, comfort, growth, connection, empowerment, memorial, celebration.

Through our resources, research and training programs, we harness the power of creativity to build community capacity and move towards a more resilient future.
We are committed to deepening the conversation around how the arts can repair, rebuild and reunite.

Join us here for the latest news, community stories from our members and real world perspectives on the arts and culture in action through the Creative Responders podcast.
Our network is founded on a spirit of collaboration and grounded in the knowledge that disaster resilience is a collective responsibility. If you would like to connect with us, we'd love to hear from you.
