Next Wave HQ is on the first floor of the Arts House Meat Market building, North Melbourne. Our leadership team is mad up of Paul Gurney, Executive Director, Emily Sexton, our Artistic Director, and Janenne Willis, Chair of our board. Our strong, long-standing commitment to the development of arts leaders has seen many of our staff and board progress to take on other key leadership roles in the arts.
