Profile bio
About Jo Thomas
I am a dynamic Executive Leader known for my passion for arts and culture, promoting most specifically contemporary works of Australian artists. As CEO of ARTRAGE I am committed to creating spaces where creativity thrives and where artists and audiences come together to share in extraordinary experiences. ARTRAGE is a platform for expression, connection, cohesion and change. Whether it's through the electrifying FRINGE WORLD, the magic of Rooftop Movies, the urban creativity of RE//Perth, or the buzz of projects still being born ARTRAGE is here to make the arts accessible, exciting and essential. In my previous role as Artistic Director and CEO of Metro Arts I worked with thousands of artists creating new work. I also strategically extended the organisation taking it further into national and international spheres whilst remaining true to the grass-roots of supporting multi-disciplinary independent and emerging artists. In 2020 the organisation began a new phase under my direction as operations moved to West End in partnership with Sekisui House. We established the Metro Arts Future Fund (MAFF) to future-proof the organisation, commission more work, support artists and grow audiences.
Listed skills include Theatre, Performing Arts, Festivals, Arts Administration, and 21 others.
