Help Launch Jump Left: A New Arts Consultancy & Space

We’re excited to introduce Jump Left, an innovative arts consultancy and project space set to open in Naarm, Melbourne, in 2025!

At Jump Left, we champion diverse, artist-led, and industry-driven initiatives. We create transformative opportunities through dynamic partnerships with artists, collaborators, and industry leaders across the arts and beyond.

We aim to bridge the gap between artists and industry, fostering cross-sector collaboration and creating new possibilities for growth, innovation, and sustainability.

Jump Left envisions a transformative and open arts sector where diverse artists are empowered, visible, and successful.

Our Purpose Is Twofold

1. To empower diverse Australian artists, studios, galleries, and arts organisations by offering tailored professional development, project management solutions, and unique career opportunities. We emphasise supporting disabled, neurodivergent, and intellectually disabled artists, providing platforms for one-off creative ventures and long-term career growth.

2. To facilitate collaborations with industry partners and professionals across design, technology, and business sectors. By connecting creatives with experts in these fields, we aim to co-create innovative projects that push boundaries, reshape the arts, and drive inclusive growth.

Jump Left will serve as both a curatorial hub and a cross-industry innovation space where creative expression and industry needs intersect. Our accessible in-person and online spaces will be safe, welcoming, and professionally supportive, ensuring all collaborators, including those with disabilities, can realise their professional and creative visions.

Why We Need Your Support

To make this groundbreaking and inclusive space a reality, we need your help now! We’re contacting our community and networks for values-driven angel investors to help fund this transformative initiative.

Your support will create a space for artists, collaborators, and industry professionals to explore new opportunities, build capacity, and make essential connections in a supportive and innovative environment. Together, we can expand creative possibilities, foster collaboration, and reshape the future of arts and industry partnerships.

"By expanding creative and collaborative spaces that are accessible and supportive, we're creating more choice, redefining opportunities, and building expansive, long-term careers for disabled and neurodivergent artists, as well as innovative ventures with industry professionals." — Sim Luttin, Founder & Director

About Our Founder

Sim Luttin is an accomplished arts leader, strategist, and fundraiser with expertise in art, entrepreneurship, management, and business. Sim has invested $10,000 of her savings to kickstart this campaign and is committed to fostering innovative collaborations between the arts and other industries. She is passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces for disabled and neurodivergent artists while bridging connections with industry professionals.

How Your Contributions Will Be Managed

All funds raised will go directly to the Jump Left Pty Ltd. company account at Bendigo Bank, which has been seeded with Sim’s $10,000 personal contribution.

Funds raised will be used explicitly to establish the accessible arts and consultancy space in inner Melbourne. This will be a hub where artists, collaborators, partners, and the public can visit, access resources, and engage with one another in an environment designed for both creative growth and professional development.

Jump Left has also applied for additional funding through Creative Australia to support a four-year Arts & Disability Business Service Delivery Partnership. We will keep our supporters updated on the outcome of this application.

*Please note, as a company, contributions are not tax-deductible.

*Jump left will have its accounts audited annually for full transparency and accountability.
