Past programs

Launched in 2022, Radical Hospitality invited communities to converge, connect and spark new encounters. The radical power of sharing food brought us together. This program was discontinued in 2024 to make way for new initiatives.

The wrap up of our inaugural Artistic Directorate term signals an important moment in Next Wave’s story. They have played a crucial role in Next Wave’s transition from a local festival to a national artistic movement.

Artists Leigh, Tarryn and MaggZ join our team as Producers in Residence, embarking on a year long journey designing and curating projects with/for/by young people.

TIDAL took on the provocation of “art as public space”…

Countercurrents was a new public art commissioning partnership between Next Wave and Moreland City Council.
