Over thirty years' experience in the arts and events
with a reputation for delivering
the right thing at the right time
with care and flair 

ABA works with private and public agencies to develop new and existing arts projects and events, to manage them to the highest professional levels, and to provide consultancy, analysis and advice on management in the arts. This includes strategic planning and review, feasibility studies and project management.

Our expertise has been called upon by governments, arts centres, international festivals, small local festivals, touring companies, training institutions and many others, large and small.

We like taking on challenging and interesting projects, working with great people, having fun, getting it right and making a difference.

WHAT ARE WE UP TO NOW?

IN 2011... ABA has produced, with Associates Insite Arts, the third and stunningly successful MONA FOMA (festival of music and art) in Hobart, PLUS the nationally-acclaimed opening of the amazing Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). 120 performances in ten days, rave reviews for Nick Cave, Philip Glass and everything in-between. Stand by for MOFO 2012!

Three weeks later, ABA produced Orchestra Victoria On The Waterfront, a large and again hugely successful concert on the foreshore at Geelong for 6 thousand people, with pre-show performances, a 65-piece orchestra on stage and on the big screen. "Truly one of the best things I have experienced in Geelong" enthused one audience member. "Such a spectacular evening of high quality and so well organised. A magic night. Bravo! Encore!" wrote another.

ABA has since completed a feasibility study for a new Festival of Australian Theatre and is working on the development of a new Children's Theatre in Sydney and a new Indigenous Festival, also in Sydney.. In the past year or so ABA has worked with many of its Associates including Insite Arts, Arts Projects Australia, Megafun, Sweet Reason and Brecknock Consulting. Other recent projects have been delivered for Theatre Works, The Arts Centre, the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and the cities of Frankston, Moonee Valley, Dandenong and Port Phillip.
