The Lutruwita Art Orchestra (LAO) incorporated in April 2023 from the remnants of a highly successful but finite Kickstart Arts project – the Creek Rd Art Orchestra (2019-21). Crucially, all artists involved voted unanimously to incorporate as the ‘Lutruwita’ Art Orchestra and we rebranded our name with the generous permission of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, under the continuing Artistic Directorship of Stevie McEntee and with the added expertise of General Manager, Frances Butler.
