Pitch & Progress is not a product or a campaign—it is infrastructure for a new generation of creative life.
Pitch & Progress is not a product or a campaign—it is infrastructure for a new generation of creative life.
We respond to disconnection, burnout, and fragmentation with rhythm, care, and continuity. We’re not asking for permission—we’re inviting partnership. This is a prototype for cultural systems that honour life in all its complexity.
An Open Invitation - You’re invited to join us as:
A funder or sponsor
A partner institution or venue
A facilitator, mentor, or residency lead
A community co-designer
A member, resident, or simply someone seeking creative presence
Whether you’re in policy, education, health, tech, culture—or just someone looking for something more human—Pitch & Progress is a call into continuity, community, and co-authorship.
This is how we hold space:
Not just for performance, but for process.
Not just for events, but for return.
Not just for creatives, but for cultural systems that last.

Who We’re Speaking To
Young People - This is yours. Show up in your unfinishedness—your doubt, ambition, recovery, or rest. This space belongs to your rhythm.
Funders & Institutions - Invest not in another one-off event, but in the scaffolds that sustain cultural life—regional Commons sites, program streams, and accessible pathways for young creatives.
Policy Leaders & Councils - Partner with us to activate underused spaces, embed youth-focused programming, and co-develop policy that strengthens civic life through creativity.
Creative Industries & Businesses - Support residencies, events, or sprints. Provide tools, platforms, technical support, or mentorship that helps Australia’s next wave of talent thrive.
Educators & Institutions - Integrate Commons programming into research, tertiary curricula, or professional training models.
Artists, Creators & Cultural Workers - Apply for a residency, propose a project, facilitate a workshop, mentor peers—or simply join the ecosystem as a member.
Everyone Else - If you believe creativity matters—if you’ve felt the absence of connection, space, or inspiration—this is yours to help shape.

Why This Matters
Pitch & Progress is a civic commitment: to build shared space, emotional presence, cultural rhythm, and collective care. The creative sector contributes over $111 billion to Australia’s economy and employs 1.5 million people—yet many still lack the access, continuity, and support to sustain their work. Together, we can change that.
By supporting Pitch & Progress, you’ll contribute to:
A more inclusive, sustainable creative ecosystem
Practical development pathways for emerging artists
Strengthening regional and national creative networks
Supporting solutions to Australia’s innovation and productivity issues.
Building a digital platform (Residents Desk) for connection across distance and time
Embedding care, equity, and continuity into Australia’s cultural systems

Indigenous Australians are the world’s oldest continuous storytellers and artists. We celebrate the cultural richness and wisdom of all Indigenous and First Nations peoples, whose deep connection to land, sea, and sky continues to inspire. We accept the invitation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart to walk together for a better future.
