CAN wishes to announce that current CEO Danielle Antaki is departing CAN at the end of August 2025.

CAN’s Chair, board and staff express their gratitude for Danielle’s leadership and wish her well into the future.

CAN's Chair Lorraine Keane says. “Danielle’s time with CAN has seen the development of new partnerships, projects, funding sources and inspiring new directions for the organisation. We are grateful for the energy, commitment and achievements Danielle brought to our work, and we wish her every success in the future.”

Outgoing CEO Danielle says, “It has been an incredible honour to have been able to support and contribute to the powerful projects and community initiatives of this critically important WA organisation. An absolute highlight has been to work so closely with our artists, participants and communities and see the real impact the arts make in people’s lives. I am now ready to hand over the reins, and with such a capable team and board, I am excited to see where CAN goes from here.”

With several recent major funding successes and a secure financial position, as well as a strong and experienced management team and staff, CAN is well-positioned to continue operations and programs smoothly and confidently and to recruit a new CEO.
