Brown’s Mart announces the resignation of CEO Sophia Hall, who will step down from her role following the launch of their 2025 Program on 21 November 2024.

Sophia has made a considerable contribution to the organisation in her time with Brown’s Mart, working alongside the Board to develop the Brown’s Mart’s Strategic Plan 2024-28, establishing our First Nations Advisory Group and First Nations Community Engagement Program and securing significant Federal Government funding via Creative Australia from 2025-2028.  These achievements have paved the way for the future of Brown’s Mart, as the home of Territory performing arts, and sit alongside funding secured from the Northern Territory Government as well as multi-year operational support from philanthropic organisation Tim Fairfax Family Foundation.

Sophia has led the organisation through a challenging time post-COVID and without federal funding. Thanks to her leadership, we look ahead with this funding resecured and a full, exciting 2025 program to be launched in November.  We thank Sophia for her strong commitment, energy and contribution to Brown’s Mart during her tenure and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

The Board will shortly commence a recruitment process for Sophia’s replacement.  Should you be interested to find out more on this role or how you may be able to assist the organisation more broadly, please do not hesitate to contact the Brown’s Mart board via board@Brownsmart.com.au
