Welcome to our first newsletter of the year and in true 100 Story Building style we have big news to share with you.
We are thrilled to have welcomed Lena Cirillo as our new CEO in January, and only a month in, Lena has spent time foraging and fossicking through the many levels of our building to gain insights and gather fresh ideas to continue the growth of our organisation into the future.
Lena Cirillo, a powerhouse in Australia’s arts and non-profit sectors, brings over 20 years of strategic leadership to 100 Story Building. A passionate educator, accomplished artist, and tireless advocate for creative empowerment, Lena has left an indelible mark as CEO on organisations such as Art Education Victoria, Arts Project Australia and Polyglot Theatre.
Lena's work spans diverse cultural, socio-economic, and linguistic contexts, reflecting her commitment to amplifying diverse voices, fostering connection, and nurturing lifelong creativity and self-expression. You can read the full announcement of her appointment on our website.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Abhilash Mudaliar for his work as Interim CEO since July 2024.
In this enews, we are proud to share our Trilogy holiday program snaps and some work from last year's Creative Club members.
We hope everyone has settled into Term 1 and is bursting with creativity and energy like we are!
