Utp has been at the forefront of art and social change since 1979.Utp is leading a not so quiet revolution of art that is socially responsive, inclusive and that reflects the diverse* nation we live in. We lead from the lands of the Darug people and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.Utp is a unique commissioning and producing organisation. We make long-term investments in collaborations with artists and/or communities from outside the dominant culture to give from to extraordinary ideas. We never do this alone, working with an exceptional set of partners to co-produce a year-round program of performance, dance, visual art, learning and community-led projects, unlike anything you have seen before.Our curatorial model ensures projects are self-determined by artists and/or communities, challenging the dominant methodology of the lead Artistic Director to give rise to truly artist/community led projects.We are committed to offering access-for-all to brilliant ideas, unusual experiences and critical thinking.Art is not a luxury, it's for everyone.*We are an intersectional organisation and define diversity as including First Nations peoples, those who live with disability, the LGBTIQ+ community and people from the many culturally and linguistically diverse communities who make up this country. This diversity is reflected in our team, in the artists and communities we work with and our audiences.
