Are there jobs in Creative Arts?

The short answer – yes.

The long answer – yeeeesssssss.

Because the creative industries cover such a broad range, it’s easy to gloss over the fact that the creative industries are filled with an incredible variety of careers.

Valued at around $111.7 billion to the Australian economy in 2016-2017, the creative industries include everything from design to fashion, film, electronic media, games, broadcasting, digital media, performing arts, visual arts and crafts, advertising, publishing and more.

You don’t have to be an artist

Creativity comes in all sizes, and so do creative jobs. The creative industries don’t just employ artists and actors. There are jobs in a huge variety of fields – costume design, production, creative writing, visual effects, animation, marketing and communications – you name it.

You may want to be a blogger or a videographer, a producer or promoter. You may be interested in designing sets, or in working the finances of a new production. You could start a career as an independent, building your brand up with your new-found marketing skills, or you could join an established organisation helping put a creative spin on the latest social media platform.
