Currently, Chloe is an Artistic Associate with Perth Festival, where she contributes to curatorial strategy, artistic programming, and the development of large-scale commissions. In this role she works closely with artists, producers, and communities to shape the festival’s creative vision, ensuring that diverse voices and contemporary practices are reflected across the program. Her position allows her to work across genres and platforms, supporting projects that range from intimate experimental works to landmark collaborations with international partners. This leadership role reflects her growing influence in shaping not only individual productions but also the broader artistic and cultural landscape of Western Australia.
