It is with a mix of gratitude and sadness that we announce the resignation of Theo Costantino from the position of Executive Director of ART ON THE MOVE.

Theo has been instrumental in guiding our organisation through numerous successes and challenges over the past few years. Since starting with us in 2020, they have been adept at navigating numerous organisational changes set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Theo played a pivotal role in managing the relocation of our offices, ensuring a smooth transition, and maintaining our operational efficiency, and their efforts in securing ongoing funding for the ART ON THE MOVE have been crucial in sustaining our mission and programs. Their dedication, vision, and unwavering commitment to the arts have been an asset to the organisation, and the wider sector. Moreover, Theo’s dedication to providing excellent artistic content for the audiences of Western Australia has enriched our cultural landscape and garnered widespread acclaim.

Under Theo’s leadership, ART ON THE MOVE has grown and extended its reach to communities across Western Australia, a notable recent achievement being the coordination of a significant research project for the recently released Regional Visual Arts Touring Strategy, 2024-28. This work aims to increase the capacity of the regional gallery sector of WA and will surely prove to be an asset that is treasured for years to come.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Theo for an outstanding contribution, and from everyone at ART ON THE MOVE, we wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.
