Since 2015 Brink has been working with South Australia’s leading independent artists to assist them in developing and presenting their own work on stage.

The Production Hub was borne out of the needs of independent artists to activate their ideas, projects and career pathways. This need became louder and more urgent with the impact of COVID-19 in early 2020, when Brink opened the doors wider and partnered with more artists than ever before to provide vital activation opportunities that assisted in keeping the South Australian arts ecology alive during, and post, the pandemic.

The Production Hub was responsive to the specific requirements of each artist and used Brink’s resources – skills, knowledge, networks and infrastructure to assist them to make their best work.

Creative support was fluid through mentorship and artistic counsel via occasional catch-ups as a sounding board; with independent artists free to decide what support they needed for their project, pending availability of Brink’s resources. Administrative support was more structured and guided artists through things like grant applications and assisted with their payroll.

Brink’s Production Hub adds value to the SA arts ecology and enhances the impact of our contribution to the local arts sector- particularly when it comes to managing the finances of an independent work.

Brink champions independent artists with hands-on producorial mentorship and auspice management, ensuring creative visions aren’t weighed down by paperwork and red tape. Brink’s Production Hub handles the behind-the-scenes logistics, so independent artists can focus on work that matters. For those creating outside the safety net of funded organisations, Brink’s Production Hub offers a steady hand – guiding artists through the nuts and bolts of bringing a show to life.
