Festival Arts Ambassadors

In 2025 the Sunshine Coast Chamber Music Festival will once again run its Arts Ambassador Program to identify, nurture, and profile ambitious future arts leaders from the region.

This initiative is part of the festival’s mission to support emerging artists and grow a rich and vibrant arts ecology on the Sunshine Coast. It’s also about giving young people who aspire to become professional artists the opportunity to taste what it’s like to be involved in a national festival.  In 2025, five exciting emerging artists will be selected to be Festival Arts Ambassadors, and will be given the opportunity to meet all the festival ‘25 artists, participate in the running of the concerts, and featured in a number of media events. 

The SCCMF Arts Ambassadors represent what we believe the future of the Australian arts sector looks like.  

2025 ARTS AMBASSADOR

JACINTA MAXWELL

I am an emerging multidisciplinary artist working in theatre and film, passionate about creating spaces where honest self-expression—in both its darkness and light—can take centre stage. My work explores themes of community, artistic expression and topics we find taboo in our everyday lives. Through training with Zen Zen Zo, I’m learning to translate inner experience into embodied performance. In 2024, I created Zoo Animals, a short documentary on the closure of Brisbane’s iconic venue The Zoo, reflecting on the power of shared spaces. Whether on stage or screen, I aim to create work that invites people to reflect honestly on themselves and to welcome more of what nourishes the soul into their lives.
