This year our seven award winners demonstrate the power of visionary support for the arts, highlighting the profound impact this support can make on the arts and cultural landscape, for the benefit of all Australians.

Our 2021 Creative Partnerships Award recipients are:

• Philanthropy Leadership Award – John Wylie AC and Myriam Boisbouvier-Wylie
• Business Leadership Award – Scott Hutchinson
• Emerging Philanthropy Leadership Award – Nick and Sophie Dunstone
• Arts Leadership Award – Chris Howlett and Adele Schonhardt

Creative Partnerships Australia CEO Fiona Menzies said the Awards recipients are committed to making the arts accessible for Australians,  “The recipients of this year’s Awards all embody a genuine love of arts and culture, and a desire for them to be ambitious and to be shared as widely as possible.”

“While we were all managing the various challenges thrown at us by the pandemic, supporters of the arts continued to stick by the sector that they value and enjoy, to ensure that the artists, creatives, crews and companies they love could and would be there when restrictions were eased,” added Menzies.

Congratulations to all our Awards recipients for 2021 and thank you for your leadership, generosity and dedication to creating a sustainable and thriving creative sector in Australia.
