Auspicious Arts Projects is a not-for-profit creative community management organisation. We provide independent artists with a secure and accessible framework to assist them with creative developments and producing work.

Working with Auspicious means that artists have the benefits and financial protection of working with a larger organisation, while remaining independent and in creative control. With an open door policy and over 30 years of industry experience, we’ve worked with projects across the complete independent arts spectrum. We sweat the small (and big) stuff so you don’t have to.

We also work with a range of arts organisations and local councils to provide administrative and financial support. Take a look here for more information about our services.

We are an inclusive workplace that celebrates diversity in all it’s forms and we welcome feedback regarding any of our communications and policies.
