Stephen Cassidy has worked throughout the cultural sector for 30 years, in community and industry organisations and local, state and national government, spanning cultural research, programs and policy, museums, radio, publishing and community arts.
He has worked for organisations as diverse as the Powerhouse Museum, community radio 2SER-FM and publishing companies and has undertaken research for national arts funding and policy body, the Australia Council. For the last eight and a half years he has worked for the Australian Government.
This has involved policy, research, and management of programs to support Australian culture, including intangible cultural heritage, Indigenous languages and culture, creative industries, innovation and cultural organisations, particularly related to the digital and online environment.
In parallel with this work, he is also a writer. His writing ranges across articles, poetry, short stories, installations, songs, websites and digital imedia.
Key themes include both serious and not so serious matters, such as Australian culture and creative industries, the online and digital world, the use (and abuse) of language, geography and landscape, and science, almost always with a sense of short black humour.
His writing has been published in ACT magazine, Blast, in ACTWrite, the ACT Writers Centre magazine, on the website of the ACT Writers Centre and in Idiom 23 magazine.
He has also written for a range of specialist cultural publications, including Artbeat, magazine of the former Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Powerline, magazine of the Powerhouse Museum, Artlink magazine, the National Association for the Visual Arts Newsletter, Community Arts National and the NSW and SA Community Arts Network newsletters.
