Lucy’s background is in administration and creative events, having worked as the Event Coordinator at Vivid Sydney, as well as the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, BEAMS Arts Festival and a variety of creative events agencies.

As the Program Manager for the Live and Local Strategic Initiative, Lucy works closely with councils across Australia to deliver live music events that promote the principles of the Live and Local Event Model – encouraging beneficial relationships between council, community, artists and businesses through live music at a grassroots level.

Lucy believes that “the value of live music experiences extends beyond creating a connection between artist and audience. Live music has significant flow-on benefits for local businesses, jobs, the economy, tourism, youth engagement, mental health, place-making and urban planning, and community identity.” She is passionate about the use of live music as a catalyst for social cohesion and economic development.
