Elisabeth Vaneveld
Executive Director, The Big Idea Charitable Trust
Elisabeth Vaneveld has extensive experience as a strategist, project leader and
process facilitator in the creative, community and public sectors in New Zealand
and Australia.
She has worked in the creative sector for over thirty years, undertaking many
roles and projects including devising productions, managing tours, organising
festivals, running shows and events, creating projects across art forms, saving
historic buildings, supporting new voices, developing partnerships, building
networks and facilitating change. For ten years until April 2006, she was
Manager: Northern Arts Services, Creative New Zealand.
"It is sobering to hear from artists about what it's like being shackled by
'old' (and to some extent limited) thinking about the role, place and
contribution of the arts sector within New Zealand's economy. It is heartening
however to experience the willingness in the creative sector to explore, build
and promote new models of practice - to grow ideas, talent and income. It is
also very stimulating to see how artists in particular are engaging in
multi-disciplinary practices and in projects and industries both inside and
outside the creative sector to grow successful and sustainable careers."
